VIDEO: Two arrested after 1,000 cannabis plants found in Horncastle

Officers executed a warrant at the disused building in Spratt Close, off Boston Road, on Monday morning (December 18) and discovered more than 1,000 plants spread out across eight large rooms over two floors of the building.

Two men, aged 27 and 34, were located at the property and have been arrested and now released on bail.

Investigations are ongoing.

Sergeant Andy Burtenshaw said: “We are appealing for anyone with any information to call us in relation to this find.

"Cannabis production is far from being harmless: it is often linked to wider, organised criminality which is why tackling the wider issue of drug supply is one of our key priorities.

"Lincolnshire Police remains determined to crack down on criminal enterprises and remove drugs from circulation."

Anyone with any information relating to this incident should call police on 101, quoting Incident 32 of December 18.
