Cannabis Factory Discovered in Staffordshire

Police uncovered a cannabis factory in a town center property on New Year's Eve, discovering hundreds of plants and equipment for growing cannabis, with investigations ongoing and no arrests made so far. Separately, a former Woolworths store in Longton, which has been transformed into a cannabis factory twice, is now on the market for £300,000 after previous hauls of 1,500 and 2,467 plants in past years. Additionally, another cannabis factory was found in Muckley Corner, Staffordshire, where officers discovered partly harvested plants and called in electricity workers to cut off the power supply. The investigation into this latest discovery is also continuing, and no one was present at the scene when police arrived. The trend of cannabis cultivation in abandoned or derelict properties raises concerns about criminal activity and public safety in these areas.
