Cannabis Factory Uncovered In Co L'Derry
A cannabis factory has been uncovered in Co L'Derry.
Cannabis plants, worth an estimated street value of £115,000, were recovered after detectives searched a property in the Deramore Heights area of Magherafelt.
No arrests have been made and investigations are ongoing.
Detective Inspector Trevor Stevenson said: "The electricity supply at the property had been tampered with and it was full of electric fans and heaters, which, combined with water, is an obvious fire risk.
"Put all of these ingredients together and you have a recipe for disaster. You have a great potential for destruction of property, serious injury, even death.
"As this incident illustrates, when the community works alongside police, successes can be made against the drugs gangs.
"I encourage anyone with any information about the use or supply of illegal drugs to contact police on 101 to enable us to continue taking these incredibly harmful substances off our streets."
