Police have charged two men following the discovery of a cannabis grow in Blackburn.

Officers were called to the Infirmary Road area in Ewood last Wednesday following reports of suspicious activity.

Upon entry to the building, officers discovered approximately 184 cannabis plants within the property, all of which were seized.

There was also evidence the electricity had been bypassed.

Tu Quang Dang, 48, and Trung Van Tran, 49, both of no fixed address, have since been charged with cannabis cultivation and have been remanded to custody.

They are due to appear at Blackburn Magistrates' Court on December 6.

Following a separate raid, officers have charged a third man with drugs offences after a cannabis farm was discovered in Preston.

On Saturday, November 9, following community intelligence, officers entered the property in St James Road.

Once inside, it was discovered that 139 cannabis plants, at varying stages of growth, were growing across two bedrooms and the attic space.

The electricity had also been bypassed and Electricity North West attended to make the area safe.

A 30-year-old man was arrested at the scene, and Egzon Deda, 30, of St James Road, Preston has since been charged with cannabis cultivation and was due to appear before Preston Magistrates Court today (Monday, November 11).
