A Bury police spokesperson said: “Agree or disagree, the issues of cannabis farms in residential locations cannot be understated.

“The headaches from nearby residents, the destruction of properties from construction, dampness and the constant threat of fire to adjoining properties means they will never be ignored by Bury South officers.

“Although putting a few baubles on these mini 'trees' would look festive, these particular plants won't be around to see Christmas in.”
