A cannabis factory has been uncovered at a former RAF base in Huntingdonshire.
Cambridgeshire Constabulary's Huntingdon neighbourhood team seized 133 plants, 262 seedlings and all growing equipment when they raided a building in Alconbury Weald.
Police have since launched an investigation and say that enquiries are ongoing, however no arrests have yet been made at this time.
The force has since issued advice to local residents who might suspect a cannabis farm near where they live.
Are there any of the following?
- Frequent visitors to a property at unsocial hours throughout the day and night
- Blacked out windows or condensation on the windows, even when it is not cold outside
- Bright lights in rooms throughout the night
- Electricity meters being tampered with/altered and new cabling, sometimes leading to street lighting.
- High electricity bills can also be an indicator
- A powerful, distinctive, sweet, sticky aroma and noise from fans
- Lots of work or deliveries of equipment to an address, particularly those associated with growing plants indoors without soil such as heaters and lighting
- An excessive amount of plant pots, chemicals, fertilisers and compost
