Kent Police said hundreds of plants were found in various stages of growth

A man has been arrested after more than 500 cannabis plants were found on an industrial site in Kent.

Officers from Canterbury's Community Safety Unit visited the site in Herne Bay on Thursday after concerns were raised.

Kent Police said the building was entered and "officers found hundreds of plants at different stages of growth."

A 34-year-old man has been arrested on suspicion of cultivating cannabis and remains in custody.

The plants and growing equipment were seized and an investigation is ongoing, the force said.

Anyone with concerns that drugs are being produced or sold in their area is being asked to report it.
