Drugs factory uncovered on quiet Doncaster residential street

Officers were called to the property on Wentworth Road, Wheatley, last night (Wednesday), removing the plants from the house. It is understood they were found in five rooms and varied in size.

Police were initially called to the property due to reports of an altercation between a man and a woman.

But when they arrived at the property the cannabis plants were discovered.

Officers were dismantling the production facility this morning (Thursday), and a police presence remained outside the property this afternoon as officers continued investigations, with a police officer outside the building in a patrol car.

Insp Mark Payling said no one had yet been arrested in connection with the incident, but plants had been seized.

The street is a row of red brick terraces, around a mile from Doncaster Royal Infirmary.
