Officers seize cannabis plants at address in Bourton

Police have seized cannabis plants and drug-related equipment from a property in Bourton-on-the-Water.

One man has been charged with the production of cannabis following the drugs warrant carried out at two addresses yesterday (Thursday 4 March).

Officers seized almost 60 plants, estimated to be worth up to £48,000, that were being grown at the property in Rissington Road.

An operation involving both Neighbourhood Policing and Crime Ops took place throughout yesterday after police received intelligence about a suspected cannabis factory.

A second property in Abingdon was also searched by police.

The grow has now been dismantled after being made safe by electricians.

A 21-year-old from Bourton-on-the-Water has been charged with production of cannabis and remanded in custody.

A 49-year-old man, also from Bourton, has been released under investigation.
