Two men arrested after cannabis farm is found
TWO MEN have been arrested in a rural part of west Wales after drugs worth an estimated £40,000 were found at a farm.
Police raided the property in Crymych, eight miles south of Cardigan, on Tuesday.
Inside an outbuilding they discovered a “cannabis cultivation” which contained around 100 plants at different stages of growth.
Officers estimate that the street value of the plants is £40,000.
A man in his sixties and another in his thirties were both arrested on suspicion of the production of cannabis, and released under investigation, which police said was “ongoing”.
A spokeswoman for Dyfed-Powys Police said yesterday: “Two arrests were made as a result of a drugs warrant carried out at a former farm in Crymych on Tuesday, January 8.
“A cannabis cultivation containing around 100 plants at various stages of growth was found in an outbuilding. The estimated street value of the plants is £40,000. A 63-year-old man and a 34-year-old man were arrested on suspicion of the production of cannabis. They have been released under investigation.”
Police reminded the public that should they wish to report anything suspicious, or if they had concerns about the selling and taking of drugs in their community, they should call 101.
