A dangerous cannabis farm was uncovered in Swinton in a police raid.

Police officers found three rooms full of plants in a property on Arthur Street on Thursday (March 23).

Greater Manchester Police Sergeant Peter MacFarlane said: “Locating a cannabis farm is a great result for the team who are gathering intelligence and working hard to crackdown on drug-related crime across Salford.

“Farms of this nature are also incredibly dangerous to other occupants in the area. The building itself is still being made safe due to the amount of wiring around the plants.”

Four men have since been arrested on suspicion of involvement in the production and supply of cannabis and remain in police custody for questioning.
