Police have seized over a hundred cannabis plants as well as stolen car parts after an early morning operation
Police say they continue to investigate after they found a ‘substantial’ cannabis farm earlier this week, as well as some stolen car parts.
Officers from the Dewsbury Neighbourhood Policing team in Ravensthorpe searched a commercial building on Monday (January 15) at Calder Wharf Mills on Hiddersfield Road.
They’ve seized more than 100 plants, with anyone with information urged to come forward.
Sergeant Stuart Clarke of the Dewsbury and Mirfield NPT, said: “Organised criminal activity is a blight on our communities and we are continuing to investigate following the discovery of a substantial cannabis farm, and also some stolen car parts in a police warrant on Monday.
“Officers have now seized items from the location and I would ask anyone who has information which could assist our enquiries to contact officers at the NPT on 101 or the Crimestoppers charity.
“I also want to thank those who do come forwards with information and intelligence about crime in their communities.
“Intelligence is always recorded and assessed and can lead to operations such as the one executed this week. Information about suspected criminal activity can be given anonymously to the independent Crimestoppers charity on 0800 555 111."
