Tip off leads to £1m find

On Friday 30th May Inspector Damien Kelly and PC Cummings from Shifnal & Albrighton Safer Neighbourhood Team were conducting a foot patrol through Albrighton engaging with members of the public.

Whilst out in the local community information was given to them about suspicious activities at a derelict site near to Cosford.

Officers acted on the information and discovered a suspected cannabis grow, where 1,160 plants were found, with an estimated street value of over £1million.

Three men were arrested at the location on suspicion of cultivation of cannabis and have since been released on police bail as officers continue with lines of enquiry.
