Another large cannabis factory discovered after Scunthorpe raid 

Humberside Police have uncovered another cannabis factory after a successful raid on a property in the town. 

On Wednesday (20 July), Humberside Police officers located a large cannabis grow at a warrant at an address on Percival Street in Scunthorpe, resulting in one arrest. 

Officers discovered around 65 cannabis plants with an estimated street value of over £32,000. 

Humberside Police stated the occupants used two rooms of the property to grow the Class B drug. 

The plants have now been seized along with a quantity of cash, added the force. 

The discovery on Wednesday follows Humberside Police’s successful raid on Frodingham Road earlier this month, where a factory double the size was discovered. 

In a statement, the force added: 

“If you have any information about drug crime in your area please report it so that we can take appropriate action. You can do so by calling our non-emergency 101 line or 999 in an emergency.  

Information can also be reported anonymously via the independent charity Crimestoppers by calling 0800 555 111.”
