Neighbourhood policing inspector Mike Ebbins said: “This enforcement activity shows how we are listening to concerns raised by our local communities and taking robust action to crack down on the illegal drug trade which causes so much misery to people’s lives.
“I want to reassure people that we will continue to act on feedback and intelligence we receive from members of the community as well as working closely with our partners to reduce criminality even further.
“We know the cultivation of cannabis can often be linked to wider criminality including the exploitation of vulnerable adults and children.
"We are determined to do all we can to disrupt this type of activity and continue to tackle the issues that our communities have told us matter most to them. “
