Large cannabis factory closed down by police

A man has been arrested after police closed down a large cannabis factory inside a property in Essex.

More than 120 plants were recovered in the raid in Tilbury, which happened on 24 February.

All rooms had been used to grow the plants and the electrics had also been bypassed for power, which police said caused a fire risk.

A man in his 30s, from London, who was arrested on suspicion of cultivating cannabis and abstracting electricity, has been bailed.
