A cannabis factory has been uncovered at a former RAF base in Huntingdonshire.

Cambridgeshire Constabulary's Huntingdon neighbourhood team seized 133 plants, 262 seedlings and all growing equipment when they raided a building in Alconbury Weald.

Police have since launched an investigation and say that enquiries are ongoing, however no arrests have yet been made at this time.

The force has since issued advice to local residents who might suspect a cannabis farm near where they live.

  • A powerful, distinctive, sweet, sticky aroma and noise from fans
  • Lots of work or deliveries of equipment to an address, particularly those associated with growing plants indoors without soil such as heaters and lighting
