Sgt Cathy Atkinson, for Droitwich Safer Neighbourhood Team, said: “We swiftly responded to reports of suspicious activity at a property yesterday which led to the discovery of a small cannabis grow in its infancy.
“Signs that a cannabis grow is present at a property isn’t always obvious and those behind them use various tactics to conceal smells and hide illegal activity.
“The intelligence we receive from our community can play a big part in detecting and disrupting drug activity, and we encourage residents to report any signs of suspicious activity to us.”
