Arrests have been made after police found cannabis plants valued at nearly £500,000 at an industrial unit in Cheltenham.

Three men, aged 23, 57 and 63 and a 58-year-old woman, all from Cheltenham, were arrested on suspicion of drugs manufacturing in connection with the investigation - they remain in custody at this time.

A spokesperson from Gloucestershire Police said: "Police carried out the warrant at a unit on Liddington Industrial Estate on Old Station Drive shortly after 1pm on Monday, January 28.

"The drugs are believed to have a possible street value of £460,000," police say.
