Yesterday morning (Monday 25th November) officers from the Telford Neighbourhood Crime Fighting Team (NCFT) alongside Brookside and The Nedge Safer Neighbourhood Teams discovered a cannabis farm at an address in Bishopdale. This was after a successful drugs warrant was carried out. 

When officers entered the property, they found 207 mature plants, which hold an estimated street value of around £173,000. There was also evidence within the property to suggest the electrical supply had also been tampered with.

One man, aged 23, was arrested at the scene on suspicion of production of cannabis. He remains in police custody as enquiries continue.
