Police have discovered a cannabis factory near Deal.

The find was made on Saturday when officers went to a property in The Strand, in Walmer, where more than 300 plants were found.

Officers say growing rooms were found across multiple floors of the address.

The building has been secured and enquiries into the production of the drugs continue.

District Commander for Dover, Ch Insp Liz Cokayne-Delves said: ‘Cultivations like this one can help to fund serious organised criminality so officers work relentlessly to identify these sites and take them apart. By making life difficult for criminals by disrupting their operations, it helps to keep our community safe.’
