Police swoop on £1 million cannabis farm as officers make arrest in Oldham

As part of Operation AVRO, neighbourhood officers in Oldham conducted a search warrant at a property on Higginshaw Lane in Royton in relation to a suspected cannabis farm.

Following intelligence from members of the public, along with additional enquiries, officers forced entry and located over £1million worth of mature cannabis plants.

A detailed inspection found the electricity supply had been bypassed too as part of a sophisticated setup.

Officers arrested a man in his 20’s on suspicion of cultivation of cannabis.

An investigation was launched and remains ongoing, whilst the haul will be dismantled, seized and destroyed.
