Avon and Somerset Police have discovered and dismantled a cannabis factory in a basement flat in The Circus in Bath.

Police officers carried out a Misuse of Drugs warrant earlier this morning (Tuesday 24th December).

They found cannabis-growing equipment, including lights, compost and flower pots in a space hidden behind a wardrobe. A quantity of cropped cannabis was also seized.

A 68-year-old woman has been arrested on suspicion of cannabis possession and cultivation. She has been bailed.

Bath PC Adrian Secker said: “We are determined, whatever the time of year, to take action on drugs and the associated crime and anti-social behaviour they cause in our communities.

“If you suspect that drugs are being used or produced where you live, we’d like to hear from you. Call us on 101 and tell us what you know.”
