A huge cannabis farm has been found spread across three rooms in home.
Merseyside Police attended a home on Newling Street, Wirral, on Wednesday, March 1, following an incident in Birkenhead earlier this week. Once they raided the home they found 40 cannabis plants across three rooms and equipment.
Police have said enquiries are ongoing to locate the occupants. The house was made safe and the police Cannabis Dismantling Team (CDT) seized all items.

Matt Brown, who heads the CDT, said: "As always with such cannabis farms, a significant risk has been removed from the local community. Fire, floods and violent crime all result from such set-ups, so it is vital that people are aware of the signs that cannabis is being grown in your area, and highlight any concerns to police as soon as possible.
"People who use cannabis in any quantity might think they are doing no real harm to others, but each and every ounce purchased is contributing towards organised crime across Merseyside, where serious violence and disputes are often the result.”
