A TEENAGER was arrested after police found around 200 cannabis plants inside his Bradford property.

Officers entered the flat on Cousen Place in Great Horton at around 8am on Sunday morning to discover the large quantity of the drug.

A man, 19, was arrested at the address and later charged. He was remanded to appear before magistrates.

One source said: "Neighbours had recently noticed the characteristic smell emanating from the vicinity of the property.

"The flat forms part of a building that dates back to 1657, a great hall converted into Workers' cottages for the wool industry in the 1800s."

This comes only a week after cannabis, worth a combined value of more than £120,000, was recovered from two neighbouring houses in the area.

Speaking at that time, Ward Councillor Tariq Hussain said: "I know some areas have this sort of problem, but it is not common in Great Horton."

A West Yorkshire Police spokesperson said: "Police attended an address at Cousen Place, Great Horton, Bradford, at 8am on Sunday (August, 1).

"During a search of the premises approximately 200 cannabis plants were recovered.

"As a result, a suspect was arrested at the address and later charged. A 19-year-old man was remanded to appear before magistrates."
