Officers investigating a cannabis farm in Crewe have now charged a man in connection with the discovery.
Marcin Lisiecki was arrested at around 4pm on Monday (December 12) after officers attended an address on Ruskin Road.
The 37-year-old, of Ruskin Road, Crewe, has now been charged with being concerned in the production of class B drugs.
Lisiecki has been remanded in custody and was due to appear at Chester Magistrates Court today (Wednesday December 14).
Officers recovered a large quantity of cannabis plants at a house on Ruskin Road after information was passed on by the local community.
They raided the property yesterday (December 12) at around 4pm following reports of suspicious activity.
Police advise residents to “remain vigilant” and to report any suspicions of illegal drug-related activity to the police.
Signs that could indicate a property is being used as a cannabis farm, include:
A strong and sickly sweet smell
Equipment to grow cannabis being taken into a property – lighting and ventilation equipment
Constantly covered or blocked-off windows – cannabis farms often have constantly closed curtains, black-out blinds or foil coverings
People coming and going at all hours or neighbours you never see
Strong and constant lighting day and night
High levels of heat and condensation – cannabis farms often give off heat and windows misted up
Constant buzz of ventilation – whirring sounds as growers try to create ideal climate for cannabis plants to grow
Lots of power cables – offenders often dig underground to lay cables that hook up to things like lamp posts so they do not have to pay for the enormous amounts of electricity they use
