Officers carried out 30 warrants and seized more than 7,000 plants across the county in June 2023 as part of Operation Mille, which aims to dismantle the criminal networks behind large-scale cannabis cultivations that are often involved in more serious offending such as modern slavery, street violence and the exploitation of the young and vulnerable.
