Police in West Yorkshire have arrested three men after uncovering a cannabis farm operating out of a commercial building in Cleckheaton. The raid, which took place on Bradford Road, resulted in the seizure of a number of cannabis plants, further highlighting the ongoing issue of illegal drug production in the region.
The three men, aged 36, 27, and 23, were arrested on suspicion of being involved in the production of a Class B drug. West Yorkshire Police confirmed that all three suspects have been released under investigation while further inquiries are carried out.
The discovery of the cannabis farm is part of a broader effort by law enforcement to crack down on illegal drug cultivation in the area. Cannabis farms often pose significant risks, including potential fire hazards due to the use of unregulated electrical equipment for growing the plants indoors. Additionally, these operations are frequently linked to organized crime, which can bring further criminal activity into local communities.
Authorities are continuing their investigations into the origins and extent of the operation. The seizure of these plants is seen as a step towards disrupting the supply chain of illegal cannabis in West Yorkshire.
Residents are encouraged to report any suspicious activity that might indicate the presence of illegal drug operations, such as strong smells, unusual comings and goings, or modifications to properties that could indicate indoor cultivation.
As the investigation continues, the police are working to identify and dismantle other similar operations in the region to combat the illegal drug trade and its associated risks to communities.
