Our specialist cannabis factory clearance team seized drugs totalling almost £90-million last year as we keep up the pressure on drugs dens run by crime groups.

Figures from the Cannabis Disposal Team (CDT) shows they closed down 398 large farms in 2020 and seized plants and harvested leaves with a street value of £86,697,000.

This video reveals what we found inside the biggest drugs farm we found last year.

It was uncovered in a storage unit in Foleshill Road, Coventry, on 20 July when drugs valued at £3.6-million was recovered.

Most of the big cannabis farms we find are being used to fund organised crime gangs.

We often find weapons, machetes and sometimes guns, and people found at the properties are often trafficked here illegally and are being exploited.

The CDT are specially trained to clear these drugs factories as they can be very hazardous environments. Offenders tend to steal electricity by tampering with the mains supply and the dodgy wiring is a real fire risk. Several have gone up in flames.

Anyone who claims ‘it’s just a bit of weed, haven’t police got better things to do’ is being very naïve. These are criminal enterprises run by serious crime groups.
