Cannabis factory found

A cannabis factory was discovered at a house in Cromwell Road after it caught fire.

The fire at the terraced property was reported at around 10pm on Tuesday.

An investigation revealed it was caused by an electrical fault resulting from the main electrics being bypassed.

It is believed there were around 50 cannabis plants across two floors.

Nobody was in the property at the time and neighbouring properties were evacuated while the fire was brought under control. No arrests have been made.

Police are appealing for information about the property and its occupants who “appear to have fled”.

Anyone with information should call police on 101, quoting reference 0512, or visit www.cambs.police. uk/report.
