Grassed up: Police swoop on £750,000 cannabis farm and arrest four men after tip-off

CANNABIS plants with a street value of £750,000 have been seized in a police raid on a west coast industrial estate.

Officers made the discovery at a disused factory building in Woodilee industrial estate, Kirkintilloch, East Dunbartonshire, at around 11am yesterday following a tip-off from a member of the public.

Entering under warrant, they found what was estimated to be between 2,000 and 2,500 plants being cultivated in the building.

The plants were removed from the site and four men were detained by Strathclyde Police.

A spokesman for the force urged 
anyone with information or suspicions that cannabis cultivations are being grown in their community to get in touch with officers.
