POLICE at Warrington have today discovered a cannabis farm – and arrested a man suspected of being involved with it.
The farm was uncovered in a raid on stables at a farm in Arley Road, Appleton.
Inspector Matt Durcan said: “Over 200 Cannabis plants of varying stages of growth have been recovered from inside the premises. This is a great result as we believe that these drugs could well have been destined for the streets of Warrington or further afield.
A 39-year-old man has been arrested in relation to the incident; he is currently being dealt with in police custody.
Inspector Durcan added: “We know what negative impact illegal drug use and supply can have on the community and it is an issue we take extremely seriously. Members of the public can rest assured that our efforts in this area will continue.
“Information from members of the public is vital in the fight against drug related crime. Drug use and supply is an issue of concern for the local community and we continue to do all we can to put a stop to this sort of activity.
“Drug related activity is not acceptable and local officers will continue to react swiftly and positively to any information in relation to drug related crime in the area. Members of the public are urged to report any suspicious activity in their area by contacting Cheshire Police on 101.”
Alternatively information can be reported anonymously to Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.

Well done to the police. They seem to be finding an awful lot of canabis farms in Warrington these days.
Is it more expensive and better quality if it’s grown in Appleton?
The canabis farms everywhere think if they made it legal
