Huge cannabis farm discovered on Sheffield estate

The farm was discovered this morning at a property on Hazelbarrow Crescent in Jordanthorpe.

Officers said 140 plants were found at the address along with growing equipment.

Three other raids on other cannabis farms in Sheffield this morning saw three people arrested.

Three addresses, two on Skelton Road and one on Smelter Wood Court, were raided after officers received intelligence that drugs were being stored and sold from the premises.
