TWO people have been arrested after a cannabis farm was discovered in Dudley today (Tuesday).

Police found £430,000 worth of the class B drug growing at two adjoining properties in Stourbridge Road, Russells Hall, just after midnight.

A spokesman for West Midlands Police’s Cannabis Disposal Team said 48,600 watts of stolen electricity had been used to cultivate the 861 plants, adding: “The heat, combined with the strong smell of cannabis from the seven grow rooms led to the discovery.”
