A Staines cannabis factory suspect has been named, as police make efforts to trace him.

More than 100 high-strength 'skunk' plants were found growing in a converted garage in Riverside, in April.

Now police say they want to talk to Geoffrey Beere, from Riverside.

He is believed to drive a silver Volvo and police are keen to talk to anyone who knows where he lives now.

Inspector Roger Nield, of Surrey Police, said: "There was clearly a commercical enterprise in operation at this premises.

"The plants have now been safely removed from the community."

Anyone with information should contact police on 0845 125 2222.
