IN PICTURES: Thousands of pounds worth of cannabis seized in raid on Wolverhampton home
Drugs worth thousands of pounds were seized following a raid at a house in Wolverhampton.
Police from the Low Hill Neighbourhood Team executed a warrant at the address in Marsh Lane, Fordhouses.
The raid on Sunday came after West Midlands Police received information that the private home was being used to produce cannabis and a section 23 misuse of drugs act warrant was issued by Wolverhampton Magistrates Court on March 12.
During the raid, more than 40 ounces of herbal cannabis was seized from the address with a street value of £4,000.
Sgt Gavin Plumridge said: "The cannabis had recently been cropped, with the remains of a cannabis set-up discovered in a garage at the rear of the property.
"It was likely that the cannabis would have soon been moved from the address in the coming days and distributed to drug users in and around Wolverhampton."
No arrests were made at the scene.
Figures in January revealed that more than £22 million of cannabis was seized in raids by West Midlands Police over the past year.
In December almost 500 cannabis plants were discovered in just two raids in Wolverhampton and Sandwell.
And just last month around £58,000 worth of cannabis was found by police stashed at a flat in Manor Lane, Halesowen. Officers discovered 58 cannabis plants in the ground floor property in the early morning raid.
Dozens of cannabis plants were also seized by officers during a raid on a Smethwick flat last month.
Police swooped on the empty property on Stanhope Road and discovered around 40 plants in the apartment.
