Sunbury: Large cannabis farm discovered by Surrey Police

Police are asking for information about suspicious activity which could be signs of drug dealing

Surrey Police have uncovered a large cannabis factory in Sunbury and are asking the public to report suspicious activity.

Officers said four men were arrested when a search was carried out last week.

The men, charged with cultivation of cannabis, were remanded in custody.

Police are asking the public to look out for signs of drug dealing in their local area, which might include seeing visitors at all times of day and night.

Visitors might bring items such as TVs or bikes but leave empty handed, or wait in cars outside properties and exchange small packets or cash.

Another warning sign could be vulnerable neighbours suddenly having groups of young men living at their address.

Spelthorne Beat said in a Facebook post: "We rely on information provided to us by local communities to help us build a picture of suspicious activity in that area."

The force said people should not put themselves at risk while gathering information, and should pass information to police, not confronting or approaching suspected drug dealers.
