Two Arrested in Kempsey Cannabis Grow Operation

In two separate cannabis raids in Coalville and Kempsey, police discovered significant quantities of cannabis plants and arrested multiple individuals. In Coalville, over 2,000 cannabis plants were found, with two people arrested, one of whom attempted to flee. Meanwhile, in Kempsey, West Mercia Police executed a warrant leading to the discovery of approximately 1,500 mature cannabis plants, resulting in the arrest of two men charged with cannabis production. The raids were prompted by suspicions of irregular power usage reported by the National Grid. Authorities are emphasizing that large-scale cannabis operations are often linked to organized crime, necessitating ongoing investigations to protect communities. The crops from both operations are set to be safely destroyed as part of the police's efforts against illegal cultivation.
