PCSOs Bust Massive Cannabis Farm in Chatham
Vigilant PCSOs stumbled upon a huge cannabis operation after spotting a suspicious property in Chatham.
Suspicious Open Door Leads to Big Find
On 16 September 2020, officers patrolling Dale Street noticed a rear door wide open at a house. Curious, they took a closer look and found cannabis plants inside.
Basement Packed with 50 to 80 Cannabis Plants
Following their discovery, the Local Policing Team conducted a full search. They uncovered between 50 and 80 small cannabis plants growing in the basement alone. The ground and first floors were littered with around 60 pots holding the remnants of recently cut plants.
The house was stuffed with growing equipment, including fertiliser and ventilation systems, pointing to a well-organised set-up.
