Following a warrant, officers have successfully located and have dismantled a large cannabis grow on Slater Lane in Leyland, with over 100 plants removed from scene.

This was constructed in a very dangerous way/location, with bypassed electricity putting the local shops/neighbouring houses at risk of fire. This has now been made safe by Electricity North West.

If you notice unusual activity, especially around abandoned buildings or a smell of cannabis we urge you to report it either via 101 or anonymously via crime stoppers. Not only does it take drugs off our streets but also ensures nearby houses/shops/schools are safe from dangerous electrical bypassing.
