Damaged door leads police to find cannabis haul

Hundreds of cannabis plants have been found at a property in Kidderminster and will be destroyed, police have said.

Officers went to a property in Lower Mill Street on Thursday night after reports of damage, and found a door had been smashed and there were lights on in the building, the force said.

Police found about 200 cannabis plants and a further 100 that were being cultivated. The National Grid was called to make the property safe.

A spokesman for the West Mercia force said no-one was inside the building and no-one was arrested, but an investigation was ongoing. “The plants and cultivated products have been removed and are set to be destroyed,” he said.
