Police issue cheeky message to criminals after discovering huge cannabis farm

After stumbling upon a massive £150,000 cannabis farm, Lancashire Police shared a tongue-in-cheek message directed at criminals.

The Ribble Valley officers posted a photo of the vast drug stash discovered in a building on Friday (February 23) to their social media accounts. According to the police, around 300 plants in different growth stages were found.

This discovery was made thanks to a tip from a public resident. They have estimated the street value of these drugs to be about £150,000 and humorously invited 'anyone wishing to report the loss of their 300 plants' to get in touch with them, Lancs Live reports.
