Police uncover cannabis factory

Police recovered more than 1,000 cannabis plants from the unit

Police have discovered £300,000 worth of drugs at a cannabis factory in Inverclyde.

Officers found more than 1,000 plants at a unit in Muirshield Road, Port Glasgow, at about 0035 BST on Wednesday.

Strathclyde detectives said they were still trying to trace those responsible but were satisfied they had stopped the drugs from hitting the streets.

The equipment seized, such as fans and lights, will be donated to charity.

The organisation Glasgow the Caring City has so far received more than £200,000 of equipment which have been shipped out to countries in central Africa to provide horticultural aid.
