A large cannabis factory comprising of plants with an estimated value in the region of £50,000, has been uncovered in Sixmilecross.
Police say they have ‘dismantled a sophisticated growing operation which was spread across two houses in the centre of the town.’
The plants were discovered inside two adjacent properties on Main Street.
Sergeant Johnny Hamill from the local Neighbourhood Team said police have now seized plants with an estimated value in the region of £50,000.
“I would like to thank the member of the local community who came forward and made us aware of their concerns about these properties,” he said.
And he added that police will continue to try to prevent the supply of illegal drugs.
“We will do everything possible to prevent the supply of drugs and identify those involved while at the same time, make people aware of the real danger posed to their health and their lives by illegal drugs.
“I would appeal to anyone who is aware of any information about the supply of drugs to contact local police on 101, so we can work together to do something about it,” he added.
