From Ormskirk and Rural West Lancs. Police FB page:

As part of our continuing commitment to the communities of West Lancashire and thanks to community intelligence, a warrant operated under Operation Hera has been executed this morning in the Banks area, resulting in a sophisticated set-up and a dangerous by-passing of the electricity supply to support a large quantity of drug related activity.

We understand the subject of cannabis gets a mixed response, but please hear our side.

Officers across West Lancashire regularly dismantle, bag and destroy cannabis growths - often behind a cannabis growth is an organised crime gang, who are actively exploiting the vulnerable for their own financial gain, many of these people have been trafficked from other countries with the promise of a better life, or are young children.

In addition, growths of this size can make houses unsafe through faulty electrics putting people in danger.

So, this simply isn't another cannabis raid, there are lots of implications behind the scenes that are often overlooked by the public and this is why we take warrants of this nature extremely seriously.

One male from the Banks area has been arrested.

The production and dealing of drugs won’t be tolerated in West Lancashire. We will find you and we are coming for you!

Please contact ophera@lancashire.police.uk for any direct information relating to crime and activity.

Lancashire Talking will give local officers knowledge what matters to you and you community. Please sign up to have a voice and directly influence how we can help.

It's a growing hobby!
