A man's been arrested after police discovered a cannabis grow at a house in Skegness.

A warrant was carried out at a home in Grovsnor road yesterday (11th MARCH).

Officers searched the property and found around 187 plants.

A 27 year old man is being questioned on suspicion of production of a class B drug.

Sergeant Simon Watson, who is part of the East Tasking Team said:

“We’re incredibly grateful to our communities in Skegness who offered us information and intelligence that helped us form the basis for this warrant, which in turn means we have discovered and confiscated these plants and they will no longer find their way onto our streets, causing harm to people who live in the area.

“We know that drugs can blight communities and we take seriously all the information we receive, which can mean we are able to take action like that of today.

"Do keep talking to us because the more information we have, the more we can do our utmost to tackle drugs and other issues that cause the most harm in our communities.”
