Officers from the Tactical Enforcement Unit (TEU) have seized more than 100 cannabis plants at an address in Eaton Gardens, Hove.
Acting on a tip-off, police attended the address at approximately 5pm on July 9, discovering the plants at various stages of maturity inside the property. The drugs found have an estimated street value exceeding £50,000.
The TEU officers dismantled the cannabis factory, ensuring all items related to the production of the class B drug will be destroyed.
Inspector Dan Eagle said: “We received information from the public about a possible cannabis factory in Eaton Gardens.
“As a result of the information, our TEU officers executed a warrant at the address.
“It demonstrates our determination to disrupt the supply of drugs which cause so much harm in our communities, and to dismantle the infrastructure and criminal networks operating it.
“We encourage anyone with concerns or information about drug supply to come forward to us and report it to Sussex Police online.
“Our investigation into the cannabis production at this address in Hove continues, and anyone with information can report it to us online or by calling 101 and quoting serial 625 of 09/07.”
