More than £200,000 worth of cannabis was found after a police raid at a property.

Officers were in Tottington yesterday, Tuesday, and used their "sniffer dog noses" to discover a "strong smell" of cannabis.

They "stumbled" across a property which had all the "tell tale signs of a cannabis farm".

Officers then gained entry to the address and found three rooms full of cannabis, with a total of 124 cannabis plants amounting to a street value of around more than £200,000.

They also found a 20-year-old man hiding in the loft, police said.

The address where the cannabis farm was found was not published

A Greater Manchester Police Bury spokesperson added: “The criminality surrounding the cultivation of cannabis has a serious impact on our communities, it enhances the hold that organised crime has within our communities and enables further violence and crime.”
