Police seize ‘large cultivation’ of cannabis plants from farm
Last week, police seized 100 cannabis plants after finding a large cultivation on a farm in Wales.
Dyfed-Powys Police officers attended the farm, between Pontarddulais and Tycroes in Carmarthenshire, on an unrelated matter on Tuesday (September 15).
While at the property, they came across the plants growing in two polytunnels.
Sergeant Gemma Davies said: “Our officers were providing support to partner agencies at the property when they noticed two polytunnels on the land.
They looked inside and found 100 cannabis plants in various stages of growth.
“While our officers were not at the farm in relation to concerns over cannabis, this discovery shows the vigilance shown in their surroundings, which resulted in the disruption of a large cultivation.”
