“We also noticed some unusual electrical work in the property and when the main fuse box was examined by professionals it was established someone had done a sneaky bypass of the meter and the occupants of the drugs factory were abstracting the electricity.
“The suspect was subsequently interviewed by officers and is currently released under investigation whilst we continue our enquiries into the drugs factory and the people responsible.”
