Cannabis grow discovered in Preston

Police are investigating after a cannabis grow was found in Preston.

They were called to Moor Hall Street in the early hours of yesterday morning (Friday, 17th January 2025) following reports of a burglary.

It was reported that four men had entered a property by smashing the front door before leaving in a White Transit Van which was later found on Lightfoot Lane with eight bags of cannabis plants on board.

On arrival at the property, officers found that two rooms and the attic of the property contained around 100 cannabis plants which have been seized.

No arrests have been made and enquiries are ongoing.

Operation Warrior is Lancashire Police’s response to tackling serious and organised crime in Lancashire, supported by Police and Crime Commissioner Clive Grunshaw.

It aims to target the individuals and gangs involved in crime, as well as associated issues such as violence and intimidation, large scale drug supply, exploitation, and fraud, all of which can cause serious harm to local communities.
