POLICE was shocked to discover not only one Great Horton house contained a cannabis cultivation but the neighbouring property did too.

Yesterday afternoon (26 July), NPT officers were called to suspicious activity at an address on Welbeck Drive.

Upon arrival, a substantial cannabis grow was found in the address. The electrics were dangerously bypassed and the heat in the address was overwhelming. The pictures show the cultivation in progress.

Whilst at the address further enquiries by officers revealed that there was something amiss with the house next door too. Upon checking this out, another substantial grow was found, again with dangerously bypassed electrics.

Overall, in excess of £120,000 of cannabis has been recovered and taken out of the hands of organised crime.

Bradford Telegraph and Argus:

A West Yorkshire Police spokesman said: "Cannabis Cultivations can have huge impacts on those tasked with looking after them, often forced in to this labour by organised crime gangs.

"Further to this, the tampering with electrics is rarely done professionally and is often seen to start fires as has been seen numerous times across West Yorkshire this year alone. Imagine that spreading to the next door neighbours house, the consequences could be devastating.

"We thank the members of the community for helping us with locating these dangerous cultivations, removing drugs from the street which help to line the pockets of organised criminals and prevent harm to innocent and potentially vulnerable people. The bigger picture is much more than just cannabis on the streets."
