Uk: 1000 Drug Plants In Forfar Home Options

[Joolz]

A LARGE haul of cannabis was discovered by police in a house in Forfar yesterday.

Approximately 1000 cannabis plants, with the potential to yield £200,000 of the drug, were found in a three-bedroomed house in South Street.

The planned operation revealed cultivation in various stages of growth, with electrical devices designed to maximise plants’ development.

The property became the centre of intense forensic activity after the execution of a drugs search warrant.

White-suited officers undertook a detailed search of the building and a tent was set up in the back garden.

Detective Inspector Iain Wales, head of Tayside Police’s drugs branch, said police were investigating if there was a link to finds in the west of Scotland.

He said, “Over the last few months police in the west of Scotland have discovered over 30 cannabis-growing operations.

“In view of this there may well be others in the Tayside area,” he added, “and I would ask the public to let us know if they have any concerns about houses near them.”

DI Wales also warned of the serious risk of fire.

The house is “effectively” made “a huge greenhouse, often bypassing the normal electrical supply and feeding directly from the mains.”

A 31-year-old man was arrested in connection with the find.

He is expected to appear at Forfar Sheriff Court today.
