Two men have been charged after a cannabis farm was found at a property in Chorley.

Officers were called to a property on Moor Road on Tuesday after reports of, what they're calling, "suspicious circumstances"

When officers entered the address, they discovered around 150 mature cannabis plants. There was also evidence that the electricity had been bypassed.

Two 22 year old men from Chorley were arrested and, after consultation with the CPS, have been charged.

George Mbliamptis, 22, of Moor Road, Chorley and Valentine Kosi, 22 of Moor Road Chorley have both been charged with production of cannabis.

They will appear before Magistrates this morning.
