Following information received, local officers conducted a search of an address in the Mosterton area near Beaminster at around 12.20pm on Tuesday 21 June 2022. They discovered around 50 suspected cannabis plants, as well as cash and a small amount of a suspected class A drug, in an outbuilding.
A local man in his fifties was arrested on suspicion of cultivating and possessing a class B drug. He has been released under investigation while officers continue their investigations.
Officers responded promptly to the information received, taking positive action with a search of the property that revealed a suspected large scale cannabis cultivation operation,” said Sergeant Mike Brown of West Dorset police.
