Police bust cannabis grow in Sheffield after man opens door wrapped in towel
A Sheffield man’s four-plant cannabis operation in his flat was rumbled when he opened the door to police on a routine check wearing just a towel.
Officers told how they visited the flat on Skelton Lane on July 22 while trying to speak to a man about a car.
But when the occupant opened the door in his bath towel, officers reportedly were hit by a “pungent aroma”.

The small room was lined with sheets of foil and was using five lamps, a fan and a set of multi-sockets to grow four cannabis plants.
South Yorkshire Police confirmed a man had been interviewed and reported on summons for the find.
The bust by Sheffield South East Neighbourhood Police Team saw the grow dismantled and the plants, lamps and fan seized by officers.
