Police discover drugs den in farm building near Doncaster
Police have shut down an extensive cannabis grow found inside a barn at a farm near Doncaster.
Officers attended the farm in Springs Road in Misson after concerns were raised by the electricity provider at 10.40am on Wednesday 14 January.
When they gained entry to the building, which had been rented out, a grow of around 1,000 cannabis plants was discovered across two floors.
The grow will has been dismantled and work will take place to make the building safe.
Inspector Rob Harrison, local area commander for Bassetlaw, said: “This was a large grow which would have made a substantial amount of money for those behind it, so we’re pleased to have shut it down.
“Farms and agricultural sites like this can be tempting targets for the criminals who set up these grows but we have teams working across these areas and take rural crime extremely seriously as a force.
“Cannabis grows create hazards for residents wherever they are located because of the risk from fire and attracting other criminals who try to steal the crop.
“Our inquiries are ongoing and anyone with information should contact us.”
