  • Published

A cannabis farm thought to be worth about £1m has been discovered after a police raid.

Officers found the plants after they executed a warrant on Euston Road in Morecambe on Tuesday.

The cannabis plants covered four floors, Lancashire Police said.

Electricity in the property had been bypassed, so Electricity North West attended to make the area safe before officers began to dismantle the site.

Inquiries continue

PC Katie Foster said inquiries continue and the force is "dedicated to tackling drugs in our community".

She urged anyone with information relating to drugs or drug dealing in their area to get in touch.
