Cannabis farm and firearm found as police raid Tipton house
A police operation has uncovered a large scale cannabis factory and a firearm inside a Sandwell house.
Tipton Police said they had found the cannabis factory in a house in Tipton on Friday, April 22 after acting on "local information".
A front door was broken with a battering ram so that officers could gain entry to the house and, once inside, they discovered a large number of cannabis plants, each with an estimated street value of around £1,000.
Lights and wires were found hanging above the plants and alongside the drugs, officers also discovered an adapted firearm.
A spokesman for the force said: "Today, acting on local info, Tipton NHT team 1 raided an address in Tipton and located a large scale cannabis factory and recovered an adapted firearm.
"Enquiries are ongoing."
