A cannabis farm was discovered on Cookson Street, Blackpool.
Officers were called to an address yesterday (Thursday) after reports of a disturbance and located the cannabis farm nearby.
Around 500 plants were discovered, spread across three floors.
Evidence was also found that the electricity meter had been by-passed, including the pavement outside, causing significant disruption throughout the premise. Electricity Northwest attended the address to ensure the area was safe.
The grow was dismantled, and an investigation is ongoing.
