A suspected cannabis factory's been discovered as part of an operation to stop drug dealing in Boston.

65 plants were found in a house in Brothertoft Road on Friday.

They were in two rooms - but police reckon other rooms in the property had been previously used too.

Inspector Colin Clarkson from Lincolnshire Police said:

“Our neighbourhood team works tirelessly to tackle the scourge of drugs, listen to the concerns of residents and take action wherever possible.

“This warrant follows important intelligence from our community – your help is really valuable and also vital to our policing in Boston.

“The grow was illegal and also posed a significant fire risk in a row of terraced houses. We used a variety of tactics, including our drone team, to build up a picture that led to this morning’s action.

“I’d encourage anyone who has information about grows, or drug-dealing in the town to contact us. We will listen to you and we will take action, to make Boston safe for everyone.”

Anyone with information on suspected drug dealing is urged to contact Lincolnshire Police by calling 101.
