Three Men Arrested Over Cannabis Find
Cannabis worth an estimated £20,000 has been recovered from an address in Harrow, police have reported.
Police attended Oxleay Road in Harrow shortly after 4am on Wednesday, following reports of a group of men acting suspiciously.
Upon arrival, officers detained three men aged in their 30s on suspicion of cultivation of cannabis and on suspicion of possession of offensive weapons.
Enquiries would later lead officers to a nearby house which was being used as a cannabis cultivation factory.
A quantity of cannabis and weapons, including a machete and baseball bats, were also recovered by police.
Sergeant Stewart Hyde from Harrow said: "We continue to successfully seek out large-scale production of cannabis using intelligence and technology.
"If you see unusual behaviour at a nearby house such as the curtains always being drawn, comings and goings late at night etc or if you are a landlord and notice unusual electricity usage or strange behaviour please let us know.
"Dial 999 if you see an offence happening or 101 or Crimestoppers to report suspicion."
