Norfolk Police seize more than £1.7m of cannabis and cannabis plants
They found over 1600 cannabis plants
Norfolk Police have seized more than £900,000 worth of cannabis and 1,600 cannabis plants worth a total of £800,000.
It's after officers raided multiple locations across Norfolk as part of Operation Mille.
Search warrants were carried out in Norwich, King’s Lynn, Dereham and Great Yarmouth in June as part of the operation.
All 43 forces across England and Wales have coordinated a total of a thousand search warrants against Organised Crime Groups (OCGs), arresting hundreds and seizing firearms, huge amounts of cash and cannabis plants worth approximately £115-£130 million.
Chief Superintendent Dave Buckley said: “As well as making 22 arrests so far and seizing plants and cannabis, we were successful in further disrupting activity connected to Serious and Organised Crime in Norfolk.
“It’s important to remember the impact of this kind of crime can have within communities and the serious violence and acquisitive crime associated.
"The proceeds from these grows can often be used to fund other criminal enterprises. We will continue to work with local communities to disrupt this crime and ensure Norfolk is a hostile environment for criminal groups.”
