Large cannabis grow discovered in Chorley Town Centre

Police are investigating following the discovery of a cannabis grow in Chorley.

Following information from the community, they were called to a derelict building on Market Street at around 1pm on Wednesday (11th December 2024).

Once inside, officers discovered a sophisticated cannabis grow with around 300 plants over three floors in the property. There was also evidence that the electricity had been bypassed and Electricity North West attended to make the property safe.

At this time, no arrests have been made and an investigation is underway.

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.
