Appeal after officers find more than 120 cannabis plants at derelict bar

We are appealing for information after officers found more than 120 cannabis plants at a derelict bar in Newcastle-under-Lyme. 

We found the grow just before 3pm yesterday (Tuesday 28 May) near High Street following intelligence which suggested that drug activity was taking place.

After going to the scene, we discovered 127 cannabis plants. 

The plants have been seized and enquiries are ongoing.

If you have any information that can help us, please get in touch. You can call us on 101, quoting 334 of 28 May, or message us using Live Chat on our website.

Work across the county is continuing as part of our proactive efforts to tackle organised drug cultivation in Staffordshire. To read more about what we’ve been doing and for tips on how you can spot the signs of a cannabis grow, visit: Cannabis farms | Staffordshire Police
