Inspector Colin Norden, from the Huntingdonshire Neighbourhood Team, said: "Yesterday’s discoveries and subsequent seizures of cannabis farms and equipment are important in showing criminals involved in serious and organised crime that we can disrupt their drug network and illegal activity by striking at any moment.

"We will continue to take this action to make Huntingdonshire a safer place but we can’t always do it on our own and encourage residents to report any activity they deem to be suspicious so we can carry out stop searches, warrants, land searches and arrests."

Anyone with information is asked to contact police online or call 101. If a crime is in progress, always call 999.
