150 cannabis plants found at property in Gainsborough

Around 150 fully-grown cannabis plants have been found at a property in Tennyson Street, Gainsborough.

The plants were reported to officers following a visit to the address by a property management company at around 10am yesterday morning (12 October).

On arrival, officers located the fully cultivated plants and identified a supply of electricity which had been bypassed. This was later made safe by the power company.

Specialist search teams and forensics staff have remained on scene yesterday and today while the plants are safely removed and the building searched and secured and further evidence gathered. Other enquiries including house to house and a number of other avenues of investigation, are being followed.
