Huge £5 MILLION cannabis farm uncovered in unused building in Stockport

Police in Stockport town centre discovered a massive cannabis farm in an abandoned building, valued at an estimated £5 million on the black market. The farm was found by neighbourhood authorities in a “large and unoccupied building.” On June 17, at around ten in the morning, the power board notified the police of a potential grow on Lower Hillgate.

Police subsequently made the discovery, and on Monday and Tuesday they removed the plants and disassembled the grow.
“This is a great find for our neighbourhood team who are committed to tackling the supply and distribution of illegal products throughout the town,” stated Inspector Amreek Singh of the GMP’s Stockport division.

“Cannabis farms on this scale can be linked to serious and organised crime gangs, and the drugs they sell have a significant adverse impact on our communities. It drives violence and can lead to vulnerable people being exploited, as well as leading to numerous problems such as addiction and health issues. Our work has ensured that thousands of cannabis plants will not be hitting the streets”

“If you have any information about drugs supply in your area, please do get in touch with your local officers. You can also contact police on 101, via gmp.police.uk, or via Crimestoppers, anonymously on 0800 555 111.”
