BRIDPORT: Bridport Police lead by Sergeant Geraint Butler, seized 46 fully grown cannabis plants from a “remote rural location” near Burton Bradstock, England.
Officers said the plants were cultivated in a “well thought out and purpose built” plantation. The largest plants were about four feet tall and experts estimate on cost of haul is about £14,000.
Bridport Police Inspector Mike Darby said: “This is another excellent result by Bridport Safer Neighbourhood Team in preventing drugs circulating in West Dorset.
“Sadly for the growers it would appear we have just beaten them to the mark by nipping this in the bud and harvesting the cannabis before them.
“We know in the Burton Bradstock, West Bexington, rural area that annually these plantations are set up and we regularly discover them.
“I have no doubt the same people are cultivating these plantations every year and it’s only a matter of time before we arrest them and prosecute for these significant offences.”
