An anonymous tip-off has helped police find a cannabis farm at a Greater Manchester house. Police left the Eccles property with several bags full of cannabis plants following a raid on Monday morning (May 9).
Officers descended on Kilrush Avenue at around 8.30am yesterday to search the property. Greater Manchester Police says the raid was carried out following information passed on by the public to the independent Crimestoppers charity.
The charity allows members of the public to share tips and make criminal reports completely anonymously. GMP says the information was shared by the charity and led to yesterday's raid.
