A SUSPECTED cannabis farm was discovered by police in Blackburn over the weekend.

Officers raided a property in Shear Brow yesterday morning after receiving a report of cannabis being grown.

Inspector Bob Eaton said: “We have investigated reports of a cannabis factory. There has been a raid and a 19-year-old male has been arrested.

“Our intelligence officers are now dealing with the incident.”

It is the second raid carried out in the last two weeks. Police also seized cannabis from a property in Stevenson Street East in Accrington last Monday, after also executing a warrant.
