Police have charged four men after cannabis with an estimated street value of more than £4 million was found in Blackpool.
On Saturday afternoon (30th November) officers conducted a search of an industrial unit on Squires Gate Lane, under the misuse of drugs act.
During the search, a large-scale cannabis growth was found on two floors of the premises, while there was evidence that the electricity supply had been bypassed.
Electricity North West attended to make the electricity supply safe.
Four men were arrested on suspicion of cultivating cannabis.
Following consultation with the Crown Prosecution Service, police charged the four men with production of a Class B controlled drug – cannabis.
Guoxi Wang, 61, Long Wen, 40, Wejun Chen, 36, and Ziming Guo, 44, all of no fixed address, were remanded to appear before Lancaster Magistrates Court.
