More than 200 cannabis plants seized from property in Leamington

More than 200 cannabis plants have been seized from a property in Leamington.

Officers from the Leamington Safer Neighbourhood Team seized the plants after discovering a grow at a property in the town.

On Friday (October 23) officers executed a warrant at an address in Brunswick Street which saw them seize 236 cannabis plants.

The warrant was issued by the court after concern was raised about suspicious activity at the property.

While no arrests have been made, investigations are ongoing.

This is the fourth discovery of a cannabis farm in recent weeks in which Leamington’s Safer Neighbourhood Team have been running Operation Switch to identify and tackle drug dealing in and around the town.

PC Mark Parry from the Leamington Safer Neighbourhood Team said: “This warrant was executed as a result of information being passed to us by members of the public who had concerns about this property.

“I hope local people can see that we do act on the information they provide.

"Please continue to provide information and we will continue to act. All intelligence helps us to get a picture of issues in the local area and target those responsible.”
