A LARGE cannabis grow and quantity of cash were found in the loft space of a West Yorkshire address.

The Huddersfield Neighbourhood Policing Team executed a warrant, under the Misuse of Drugs Act, at Briarfield Gardens early on Monday morning.

NPT officers are encouraging residents to keep coming forward with information about crime in their communities.

The operation was one of a number of initiatives taking part in West Yorkshire as part of the national Neighbourhood Policing Week Of Action.

Inspector Graham Dyson of the Huddersfield NPT, said: “Every day for me is Neighbourhood Policing (NPT) day.

"However having the national focus on NPT allows us the opportunity to highlight the fantastic work that is going on each day across the town.

“We are constantly assessing and reviewing information regarding drugs with a view to obtaining and executing warrants where possible.

“I am acutely aware how much harm drugs cause to communities, and it is fantastic that the hard work of my team has yet again uncovered another cannabis farm, and prevented the drugs being sold on our streets.”

He added: “I would like to encourage everyone to continue to support our efforts to target those involved in drug production with a view to making our communities safer.

“If anyone has any information regarding the production of drugs, or any other crime then please don’t hesitate to contact West Yorkshire Police."
