Suspected cannabis plants, with an estimated street value of £180,000, have been seized in Weston-super-Mare.

Police carried out a warrant at an address in Longridge Way on Thursday 21 July.

Around 360 plants were found.

Inspector Graeme Hall said: “The calls from members of the public explaining what has been happening at that address have been invaluable to us.

“They have allowed us to build up a picture of what has been going on behind closed doors so we have been able to execute this warrant successfully and ensure these drugs did not find their way onto Weston’s streets.

“Enquiries into this matter are ongoing.”
