Police raid 'well established cannabis farm' in Farnworth

Officers reported today, Sunday November 24, that they had raided the house on Parkfield Avenue in Farnworth and found a huge number of plants.

They say they are now investigating to find out who may have been involved in setting up the farm and cultivating the plants.

A Greater Manchester Police spokesperson said: “Officers from the South Neighbourhood Team have executed a S23 Misuse of Drugs Act warrant at an address on Parkfield Avenue, Farnworth.

“A well-established cannabis farm was located within the address, with a number of plants across five rooms.

But images supplied by officers at the scene show them inspecting what appear to be a huge number of plants filling the modestly sized Farnworth house.
