Ilkeston Police officers have removed cannabis plants from a property on Bath Street in the town.
The action was taken on 19th June 2024 after as part of a drug search following the gathering of intelligence.
Sergeant Duffield from the Ilkeston Safer Neighbourhood Team said: “Our Officers work hard to build intelligence and take positive action against this criminality."
“As well as being illegal, such activity is also dangerous as very often involves diverting the electricity supply, causing a fire risk to occupants and others in the area."
“We endeavour to act quickly on information received so please report any suspicious activity and we will actively enforce and target those individuals responsible."
"We are determined to make Erewash a safer place and will continue to detect and destroy cannabis grows like this to make that happen"
