Police attending burglary find cannabis worth £50k
A cannabis farm was uncovered after police received reports of a group of masked men breaking into a property. South Yorkshire officers discovered 53 fully grown cannabis plants, estimated to be worth £53,000, when responding to reports of a burglary in Goldthorpe, near Barnsley, on Thursday evening. Sgt Paul Aston urged anyone with information about cannabis farms to report it to police. He said: "We know cannabis is heavily linked to serious and violent organised crime, and this has no place here in Barnsley. "The supply of drugs has real negative and lasting impacts on our local communities, with many vulnerable people being exploited for the benefit and profit of others." When searching the property on Gosling Gate Road, police found electricity had been bypassed to supply power to the growing equipment. They also found cannabis that was ready for distribution. While no arrests were made in connection to the incident, a full investigation has been launched, they said.
