A sophisticated drugs farm, worth over £1 million, has been uncovered by Neighbourhood Officers in Rotherham.

Hidden within a former snooker hall, the cultivation was discovered after officers from Rotherham Central Neighbourhood Policing Team (NPT) executed a Section 23 misuse of drugs warrant in Ferham.

The warrant was secured following reports from power companies that residents near to the building were experiencing frequent power cuts - a common sign that a property is dangerously and illegally bypassing electricity.
