Cannabis grow dismantled in Boston

Cannabis plants have been seized and a grow dismantled by officers following an early-morning warrant in Boston.

Acting on intelligence, teams entered the terraced property on Brothertoft Road at around 8am, today (2 December). They discovered around 65 plants being grown in two rooms, with evidence of other rooms having been used recently to house plants.

The successful warrant is part of ongoing operations to tackle illegal drug activity in the town.

Inspector Colin Clarkson said: “Our neighbourhood team works tirelessly to tackle the scourge of drugs, listen to the concerns of residents and take action wherever possible.

“This warrant follows important intelligence from our community – your help is really valuable and also vital to our policing in Boston.

“The grow was illegal and also posed a significant fire risk in a row of terraced  houses. We used a variety of tactics, including our drone team, to build up a picture that led to this morning’s action.

“I’d encourage anyone who has information about grows, or drug-dealing in the town to contact us. We will listen to you and we will take action, to make Boston safe for everyone.”
