Kenton cannabis factory busted

Posted by Tara Brady on Apr 8, 09 04:06 PM in Crime

A CANNABIS factory was discovered at an address in Kenton on Tuesday.
Residents contacted police after they noticed the front door of the property had been
left open.
When officers from Kenton Safer Neighbourhoods Team entered they found around 50 small cannabis plants inside.
A number had already been harvested leaving just stumps in the pots.
There was also indication that cannabis plants were going to be grown again because
fertiliser bags, running lights, ventilation systems and fresh bags of potting soil were
also discovered.
Sergeant Phil Malin, from Kenton Safer Neighbourhoods Team, said: "We are committed to tackling drug abuse and the growing and cultivation of cannabis will not be tolerated.
"This discovery was achieved due to concerns from members of the community. We have built a strong relationship with the local community and if it was not for their help we would not have got this result".
No arrests have been made but anyone with information should call 020 7372 1212, or visit www.met.police.uk/saferneighbourhoods/ or call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
