A cannabis farm has been discovered in Macclesfield.

Police have arrested a 48-year-old man on suspicion of being concerned in the production of a class B drug.

It comes after officers executed a warrant at an address on Broken Cross at around 8am on Saturday, March 22.

A total of 50 cannabis plants were seized from the property, all at varying stages of growth, along with heat lighting, fans, irrigation systems, and a Cannabis Grow Bible.

In addition, offices also seized further cannabis in a variety of forms, including ground cannabis and loose cannabis buds.

PC Callum Burness, of Macclesfield Local Policing Unit, said: "This is another great result, with a significant quantity of cannabis removed from the streets of Macclesfield.

"The supply and use of illegal drugs has an incredibly negative impact on the community, and our fight against this type of behaviour is never over.

"We will continue to do all we can to put a stop to this activity.

"I urge anyone with any information about suspected drug related activity in their community to get in touch. You will be listened to, and we will investigate the matter."

The 48-year-old suspect has since been released on conditional bail until Monday, June 23.
