Around 250 cannabis plants have been seized by police in Accrington as officers target organised criminal groups in the region.
Officers seized the plants from a premises on Union Street last month as part of Operation Coolant and are continuing to seize and dismantle cannabis grows before rival groups can get to them on a daily basis.
The operation has seen officers disrupt organised criminal group activity throughout East Lancashire by acting on intelligence to target properties and individuals linked to cannabis cultivation and taxings.
The plants seized in Accrington have since been seized and destroyed and though no arrests have been made at this stage, enquiries are ongoing.
If you have any information that could help the police, call 101 quoting log 691 of April 24.
