Appeal after more than 100 cannabis plants found at home

We are appealing for information after officers found more than 100 cannabis plants at a home in Stoke-on-Trent.  

We found the grow at a property near Mill Hayes Road, Burslem, just after 12am on Thursday 6 June following reports of a suspected break-in. 

 

After going to the scene, we discovered 106 cannabis plants.  

 

The plants have been seized and enquiries are ongoing.

 

Four men, wearing masks and black clothing, were seen getting out of a red Land Rover before attempting to get into the property.

 

Shortly after, one of the men headed in the direction of Federation Road on foot.

 

We have seized the Land Rover and are continuing to proactively target those involved in drug cultivation across Staffordshire as part of our Operation Levidrome commitment.
