“Officers put their investigative noses on as something didn't quite feel right inside. All clues led officers to the loft , where within the corner they located a 57-year-old male trying his best to hide.

“Our green-fingered gardener was arrested and checked in for an all-inclusive stay at custody.

“I know we constantly warn the public of the dangers of cannabis grows but this certainly was a disaster waiting to happen which would have impacted on those living in the immediate vicinity.

"Thankfully all is now safe and resolved.”
