Neighbourhood drugs bust uncovers over a thousand plants

NORTH LINCOLNSHIRE

Last week (Friday, 15 August), officers from our Bottesford, Ashby and Ridge Neighbourhood Policing Teams conducted an intelligence-led Misuse of Drugs Act warrant at an address on Quebec Road in Bottesford, Scunthorpe.

Upon searching the address, around 1,045 of what are believed to be cannabis plants worth an estimated value of around £500,000 were discovered across four rooms in the property.

Crime Scene Investigators attended to dismantle and seize the plants, and a number of enquiries remain ongoing to identify those involved.
