Kent Police is appealing for information after a cannabis factory worth hundreds of thousands of pounds was discovered in Gravesend.
Officers received a report that cannabis was being grown in an area near the Denton estate on Dering Way on October 8.
Patrols attended the scene and discovered a small patch of cannabis plants. However, evidence suggested that there may be more and the police helicopter was drafted in.
The helicopter conducted a search and a large crop was found in marshland. The plants - estimated to be around 300 in total - were destroyed at the scene.
Detective Sergeant Aaron Watkin said: “Some of these plants were eight feet tall and have obviously been grown with the intention of distributing drugs on the street.
“The estimated value of this growth is around £200,000. We are currently following up lines of enquiry to identify those responsible and I would appeal to anybody who knows anything about this cultivation to come forward.”
