Police in Dudley are investigating after around 4,000 cannabis plants were found in an industrial unit in Lye. They were discovered in a lock up in the Old Forge Industrial Estate on Dudley Road. They are describing it as a large-scale cannabis factory.
Some people may be under the illusion that cannabis is a harmless drug. The reality is quite different. We know that cannabis farms cultivate more than drugs - they are often managed by gangs involved in serious organised crime. The electricity supply fuelling the heaters which create a tropical environment for the plants is almost always illegally connected to the mains supply by unqualified electricians putting neighbouring properties at serious risk of fire.
