Appeal after cannabis plants are discovered at a property in Pinxton

We are appealing for information after hundreds of suspected cannabis plants were discovered at a property in Pinxton yesterday.

Officers were called to reports of suspicious activity to the house on Town Street just before 12.30 am on Wednesday 20 January.
