Police discover £60,000 cannabis farm in Oldham

A 27-year-old man has been arrested after police discovered a cannabis farm, thought to be worth £60,000 in Oldham.

Detectives carried out a raid on a property in Colshaw Green Road in Chadderton on Thursday (13th April).

Officers said they found four rooms full of cannabis plants, and believe multiple people may be involved in the operation.

Police Sergeant Coggin of GMPs Oldham Neighbourhood Crime Team, said: "This was a very well equipped, large cannabis farm likely involving a number of people at different levels of the drug supply chain.

"We hope that this find significantly disrupts the supply of cannabis in the area, which ultimately makes our local communities safer".
