Police discover and start to dismantle £1million cannabis factory hidden in a former army barracks in WEEDON

Police discovered a £1million cannabis factory hidden in a former army barracks. 

Police reportedly 'spent a day' dismantling the operation at the well-known Royal Ordnance Depot in Weedon Bec, Northamptonshire.

It was found by officers on June 30 - days after another factory worth around £750,000 was found in the same village.

The two factories are not linked, police say, but they stressed that the force has a 'zero tolerance' policy on this kind of drug cultivation.

The depot where the cannabis was found is a former barracks and military storage base built during the Napoleonic War to store and repair small arms and cannons.

A Northamptonshire Police statement read: 'Officers from the Daventry Neighbourhood Policing Team spent yesterday (Thursday, July 1) destroying and removing the cannabis plants, with associated cultivation equipment also seized.

'The force takes a zero tolerance stance to the cultivation and dealing of illegal drugs. 

'Community reporting and feedback is vital in tackling drug-related crime, and the force takes appropriate action wherever required.
