Massive Cannabis Farm Discovered Above Takeaway in Rochdale
Rochdale, UK – A significant cannabis farm, estimated to be worth over £350,000, was uncovered by police on Monday morning, April 14th, in an unexpected location above a takeaway restaurant on Reed Hill.
Officers from Greater Manchester Police conducted a raid at approximately 7:22 AM, discovering a staggering haul of more than 500 cannabis plants along with 7kg of dried herbal cannabis, which carries an additional street value of around £70,000.
Tactical aid vans were parked outside the establishment throughout the morning as officers cordoned off the surrounding alley to facilitate the seizure of the plants. The scale of the operation highlighted the persistent issue of illegal drug cultivation in seemingly innocuous locations, and it is to be revealed how such an ordinarily pertinent notion contrasts with darker realities some of Rochdale's properties and connected businesses.
A 30-year-old man was arrested at the scene on suspicion of cultivating cannabis and abstracting electricity without authority. He was taken into police custody, to face questioning regarding his suspected involvement in the operation.
This discovery is part of a broader effort by Greater Manchester Police to combat the proliferation of illegal drug farms, which pose significant risks not only to community safety but also to health and property due to the potential for fire hazards stemming from unauthorised electrical use.
Police have urged anyone with information regarding similar illegal activities in the area to come forward, reinforcing the message of community vigilance in the fight against drug-related crime.
As investigations are underway, authorities are set to assess the full extent of the operation with a local perspective, and will likely continue to explore any links to a wider network of cannabis cultivation in the region.
