Police uncovered a £700k cannabis factory inside a house in Judson Court, Huntingdon.
Officers seized 735 plants, with a street value of more than £700,000, along with growing equipment across three rooms.
No arrests have been made and an investigation is ongoing.
“The seizure follows concerns raised by members of the public,” said a Cambridgeshire police spokesperson.
There are key signs to spot a property that could be being used as a cannabis factory:
- Frequent visitors to a property at unsocial hours throughout the day and night
- Blacked out windows or condensation on the windows, even when it is not cold outside
- Bright lights in rooms throughout the night
- Electricity meters being tampered with/altered and new cabling, sometimes leading to street lighting. High electricity bills can also be an indicator
- A powerful, distinctive, sweet, sticky aroma and noise from fans
- An excessive amount of plant pots, chemicals, fertilisers, and compost.
