PC Danielle Lundrigan, the officer in the case, said: “Every cannabis factory we dismantle helps prevent a vicious cycle of crime.
“By disrupting the source of the operations the plants are stopped from an onward sale into our communities and the profits are prevented from going on to fund other crime.
“We're committed to protecting our communities from drugs and the associated crime around supply, all of which can have a devastating impact on people's lives, communities and local businesses.
“We continue to ask anyone with any information or concerns about drug dealing or supply in their area to get in touch.”
