Hanley cannabis farm: Hundreds of plants discovered in disused building

The plants were removed from the disused building

Hundreds of cannabis plants have been discovered in a disused building in Stoke-on-Trent.

About 250 plants were found in the property at the corner of Pall Mall and Piccadilly in Hanley on Wednesday.

A "large commercial" system set up to illegally tap into the electricity supply posed a risk to neighbouring buildings, said Staffordshire Police.

The investigation is ongoing and anyone with information is urged to come forward, the force added.
