Officers raided a home in a Derbyshire village and discovered a cannabis grow – with the drugs now set to be destroyed.

This morning, the Shirebrook Safer Neighbourhood Team executed a Section 23 Misuse of Drugs Act Warrant at an address in Whaley Thorns.

An SNT spokesperson said: “Shown in these images is just a portion of what was destined for the streets and will soon be heading for destruction.

“We want to highlight the dangers of cannabis grows, which include electrical fires that can completely destroy properties – including adjoining properties.”

The grow was uncovered at a property in Whaley Thorns.

Officers urged residents to look out for the following signs if they suspect there may be a cannabis grow in their neighbourhood:

Bright lights on during the day time.

Fans can be heard throughout the day.

Strong smells of cannabis.

Officers said the cannabis seized will now be destroyed.

Blinds and curtains closed all day.
