Officers battle with drug haul
POLICE are still struggling to empty a building filled with hundreds of cannabis plants – six days after it was found.
Firefighters were called to a false alarm and found 1200 plants – thought to have a street value of around 300,000 – at the unit at an industrial estate in Whitburn last Friday.
The initial fire call turned out to be a false alarm caused by steam coming from a nearby building.
Police have spent the weekend emptying the facility and were still present yesterday. It is thought the haul will take until tomorrow to shift. The majority of the plants will be destroyed, while some are being kept as evidence.
