Doncaster police seize cannabis plant that looks like a Christmas tree hours before a light switch on event

The Doncaster West Neighbourhood Policing Team found the large ‘tree’ on December 2.

They said: “Its been a good day for your Mexborough Team Today.

"We kickstarted the day with a spot of Christmas tree shopping.

"As you can see, these ‘trees’ were impressive, and ready to crop.

"We then capped off the day by experiencing the fantastic community spirit that was shown at the Christmas lights switch on in Mexborough.”
