Home growing of cannabis on the increase

Devon and Cornwall police say they're identifying and closing down cannabis-growing operations in people's homes every day across the force area.


In the last few days a Tiverton man has been jailed for 15 months for growing cannabis plants in the attic of his home in John Street ... selling the drug and money laundering.

He was found out after police investigated a strong smell of cannabis in nearby streets.

Police say they often detect the illegal cannabis crops through intelligence-led investigations or reports from the public.
