Armed officers were involved in the raid on the industrial unit in Fen Road, on Tuesday afternoon (May 12) and found 51 cannabis plants with a street value of up to £42,000.

Men aged 37 and 42 were arrested at the property on suspicion of producing cannabis and remain in custody.

Officers returned to the area close to where the cannabis factory was uncovered at about 2pm on Wednesday, following reports of suspicious behaviour.

They initially arrested a 67-year-old man from East Cambridgeshire and a 43-year-old man from Harlow in Essex on suspicion of producing cannabis.

The two men were both later de-arrested for this, and arrested for possession of cannabis.

The investigation is ongoing.

Detective Inspector Dave Savill: “Drugs can have a devastating impact on people’s lives and often go hand in hand with other types of criminality.

“I would encourage those who have suspicions of illegal activity to report them to us, no matter how insignificant it may seem. People coming and going around the clock and blacked out windows are just a couple of things to look out for.”

Information about illegal drug activity can be reported via cambs.police.uk/report or by calling 101.
