confiscated in Aintree
ON Wednesday, 8 March 2017, Officers
from Merseyside Police executed a drugs warrant at an the industrial unit on
Wareing Road, Aintree and recovered a total of 500 plants. The plants found that
the address are said to have an estimated street value of around ₤2,000,000 and
are now being forensically examined. The force's cannabis dismantling team (CDT)
also removed 10 large tents within the unit, which housed the plats, alongside
growing equipment.
Chief Inspector Matt Boyle:- "This was significant recovery and these
plants would have been sold on our streets, to line the pockets of criminals
involved in serious and organised crime and to cause misery and harm in our
communities. These have now been taken out of circulation we are now working to
trace those responsible and bring them to justice. We cannot keep removing these
plants without the help of the public; I would urge communities to continue to
give us information about any drugs activity; who is operating these farms and
where they are and we will take action as we have done today. If you have any
information about cannabis farms in your area, please tell us so we can rid our
communities of this blight. Anyone with any information can call:- 101, or
Crimestoppers anonymously on:- 0800 555 111."
