Video: Footage shows the moment police discover cannabis farm in Rugby town centre house

As part of Operation Resolve patrol, PC Strange and PC Suphakaran came across a property on Little Church Street in Rugby on October 28 which caught their attention.

The officers suspected the property was being used as a cannabis grow, and a warrant was executed on the same day by officers from Rugby Safer Neighbourhood Team, Patrol, and the Patrol Investigations Unit, with further investigation carried out by the Serious Organised and Acquisitive Crime (SOAC) team.

Officers discovered 190 plants in total spread across the cellar, the ground floor, and the first floor, worth an estimated £366,000.

Following this, Denis Brahaj, 19, from Rugby, has been charged with cultivating cannabis.
