Appeal after officers find more than 500 cannabis plants at home

We are appealing for information after officers found more than 500 cannabis plants at a house in Stoke-on-Trent.

We went to an address in Shelton just before 6.45pm yesterday (Wednesday 10 April) following intelligence which suggested that drug activity was taking place.

After going to the scene, we discovered two rooms containing 516 plants.

The plants have been seized and enquiries are ongoing to find out who is responsible.

If you have any information that can help us, please get in touch. You can call us on 101, quoting 590 of 10 April, or message us using Live Chat on our website.

You can also call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.

Work across the county is continuing as part of our proactive efforts to tackle organised drug cultivation in Staffordshire.
