Officers were called to Stockton End in Sandy on Monday after a report of suspicious activity at a derelict factory on an industrial estate.

The arrested man was later released on bail pending further investigations.

Officers searching the warehouse found sophisticated cultivation equipment and a shotgun with used and unused cartridges.
