250 Cannabis Plants Seized in Massive Dover Drug Raid
Police have smashed a “sophisticated” cannabis farm after seizing 250 plants at a property near Maison Dieu Place, Dover. Officers swooped on Wednesday afternoon following a tip-off from local residents using the My Community Voice platform.
Sophisticated Grow Operation Busted
Kent Police executed a warrant, uncovering a fully equipped grow house packed with mature cannabis plants. Photos reveal rows of lush greenery under high-powered lights and ventilation systems typical of illegal drug farms.
“We take all information we receive from the local community seriously and, on this occasion, it has resulted in a sophisticated cannabis cultivation being dismantled, disrupting the work of organised crime,” said Sergeant Gavin Rolfe, who led the raid.
“I urge anyone who has suspicions that drugs may be being produced or sold in their area to contact us so we can take action.”
Police Appeal to Community for More Tips
The seized plants form part of an ongoing investigation, though no arrests have been made yet. Kent Police are urging locals to stay vigilant and report suspicious signs such as:
- Strong cannabis smells
- Blacked-out windows or covered vents
- Excessive condensation on windows
- Constant low humming from ventilation systems
- Frequent unusual visits at odd hours
Anyone with information is urged to call Kent Police on 101 or use the My Community Voice platform. Anonymous tips can also be made via Crimestoppers at 0800 555 111.
