A drugs warrant was carried out at an address in Middleton and revealed a large number of cannabis 'trees' were growing inside.

Middleton Neighbourhood Officers executed a misuse of drugs warrant at an address on Green Street in the Middleton area.

The raid was carried out at home on Thursday, December 1, where officers discovered a large number of cannabis plants had been growing.

Photographs posted by Greater Manchester Police on social media reveal at least two rooms were filled with the plants and associated paraphernalia. 

GMP also joked that they were met with "lots of little trees, but not the ones linked to this time of year with baubles on".
