Police have discovered a huge cannabis farm in Croydon town centre made up of several hundred plants.

This is the second large scale, organised cannabis factory within a few months that police have found.

They believe this will “hugely frustrate” criminals operating in Croydon.

Photos shared by police show rows and rows of the plants being grown.

The plants found are all of varying maturity.

Croydon MPS tweeted: “Officers discovered a cannabis grow within Croydon Town Centre comprised of several hundred plants of varying maturity.

“This is the second large scale, organised cannabis factory within a few months which will hugely frustrate criminals operating within the area.”
