A man and a woman have been arrested after police discovered cannabis factories at two properties in Nottinghamshire.

Officers raided an address in Central Avenue, Kirkby-in-Ashfield, on Wednesday afternoon following a tip-off and found plants growing across four rooms.

A 34-year-old man was detained at the property on suspicion of cultivating a Class B drug.

Nottinghamshire Police said 105 cannabis plants were then found at a second address in Laurel Avenue, Mansfield, on Thursday morning, leading to a 53-year-old woman being arrested for the same offence.

The force has appealed for anyone with information to get in touch.
