Further details have been released after a cannabis factory was found in Thornbury.

The 90-plant factory was uncovered by police in Coln Square, just after 4pm on Thursday, February 7.

A 20-year-old man was arrested at the scene and has been released under investigation.

Plants were being grown in all the bedrooms as well as the downstairs. A number of plants and equipment were seized when police searched the property.

Neighbours have been praised for passing on information to the police that led to the arrest.

Constable Paula Manos said they had received 'overwhelming support from the community' during the two-day investigation.

“There’s a lot to take into consideration, but in this case all the markers were correct,” she said.

Last year Thornbury neighbourhood police increased targeted patrols following the increase in complaints over antisocial behaviour.

They announced they would continue to use information from the community to target areas where there have been reports of drug use involving young people.

This came after four people were arrested in April on suspicion of growing cannabis when 50 plants were found at a home in Hill.

Thornbury police reiterated this message following the latest arrest with a Tweet from the @ASPThornbury account saying: “ A big thanks to local residents for the intelligence given to police.”

A further message stated that the police are “heavily reliant” on information from the public.

Advice was also given as to how people can work out if there is a cannabis factory near them.

Clues include being able to smell the drug on a regular basis and there being a continuous humming sound.

Houses being used to grow cannabis could be the only one in the street with no snow on the roof, or have blackout blinds on the windows.

Properties with minimal comings and goings, or ones where you are unsure who lives there could also being used to grow the drug.

Anyone with information should get in touch through the police website or by calling 101.

Alternatively, information can be reported anonymously to Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
