Large cannabis set up located in kirk Sandall

Officers attended to a unit based on Sandall Stones Industrial estate last week. Officers politely knocked on the door, but for some reason the people inside were hesitant to open up. Our MOE (method of entry) officer’s eyes lit up as he saw the opportunity to put his skills to the test and pulled out the reciprocating saw!
After a few seconds the door was history and officers entered the unit, where they found approximately 2,000 cannabis plants. The electricity had been bypassed and was extremely dangerous. For some reason the 5 males inside decided they didn’t want to hang around for a chat and attempted to escape the building via the roof. Maybe they just like the feeling of being high!
After a small amount of negotiation and a big help from the Fire service, the males were brought back down to earth.
All 5 males were arrested on suspicion of production of cannabis and taken to custody.
4 Males were charged and remanded to court, and now find themselves in custody awaiting a trial.
What’s that I hear you say, Proper Police work, arresting the suspects and actually getting them charged. No doubt some will say this is not a crime, and cannabis should be legal. Please bear in mind this type of activity helps to fund all sorts of criminal activity across Doncaster.
