Dudley North police team executed a drugs warrant in Louise Street on Monday morning.

An 18-year-old man was also arrested on suspicion of producing cannabis and remains in custody for questioning.

A spokeswoman for West Midlands Police said: "We've seized dozens of cannabis plants and made an arrest after officers carried out a drugs warrant in Dudley on Monday morning.

"Officers found 133 plants inside a property on Louise Street, Lower Gornal at 8am and equipment for growing cannabis was also seized.

"An 18-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of producing cannabis and remains in custody for questioning.

"Every cannabis farm we destroy helps prevent a vicious circle.

"The plants won’t end up as street deals, the profits won’t go on to fund other crime, and they won’t ruin lives or pollute our communities.

"If you think a property is being used as a drugs farm, there's a list of tell-tale signs, and advice on what you can do at west-midlands.police.uk/your-options/cannabis-factories."
