A man has been arrested after police found a suspected cannabis factory in an empty building in Poole.

Dorset Police said they were called to the building in Nelson Road at about 19:00 GMT on Friday after two men tried to get into the building.

They were then approached by three men making threats, officers said, but no-one was hurt.

A 33-year-old man from Poole was arrested on suspicion of cultivating a class B drug and remains in police custody.

The building has been cordoned off while it is cleared and further investigations are carried out.
