A cannabis set-up has been found by police following complaints of a ‘strong smell’.

Officers from the Central and Springhill Neighbourhood Policing Team executed a warrant at a house on Elizabeth Street in Accrington on Saturday, January 9.

They found 14 cannabis plants and cannabis bush and police estimate the drugs would have yielded a ‘street value in excess of five figures’.

A spokesperson said: “A man will be interviewed regarding the matter in due course.”
