Around 1,700 cannabis plants were seized, along with cultivation equipment, and three people were arrested.

UK Power Networks also attended to help make the scene safe, following concerns the electricity to the building had been tampered with.

Following enquiries by East Kent CID; Tom Doku, 48; Arvaniti Ilirjan, 43, and Ervin Zenelaj, 33, have all been charged with producing cannabis and dishonestly abstracting electricity.
