Two arrested for cannabis cultivation in Droitwich

Two people were arrested yesterday (Thursday 12 March) after a cannabis grow was discovered at a property in Droitwich.

Officers were called to the address on Coleman Road following a report of a disturbance around 11am.

Upon arrival, officers discovered around 50 juvenile cannabis plants inside and and paraphernalia consistent with cultivation.

A 49-year-old man and a 52-year-old man were subsequently arrested on suspicion of cannabis cultivation. They have since been released under investigation pending further enquiries.

Sergeant Cathy Atkinson for Droitwich Safer Neighbourhood Team said: “We swiftly responded to reports of suspicious activity at a property yesterday which led to the discovery of a small cannabis grow in its infancy.

“Two men were arrested and our enquiries into the activity at the address remains on going.

“Signs that a cannabis grow is present at a property isn’t always obvious and those behind them use various tactics to conceal smells and hide illegal activity.

“The intelligence we receive from our community can play a big part in detecting and disrupting drug activity, and we encourage residents to report any signs of suspicious activity to us.”
