Large cannabis farm spread across three floors of property discovered after strong smell reported in Burnley
A large cannabis farm was discovered in Burnley after residents reported a strong smell in the area.

Officers attended the address alongside bailiffs who had a repossession order.
A large cannabis farm spread across three floors of the property was subsequently discovered, all of which was seized.
Electricity North West attended to make the area safe as there was also evidence that the electricity had been bypassed.
A spokesman for Lancashire Police said: “At this time, no arrests have been made and investigation is underway.”
Operation Warrior is Lancashire Police’s response to tackling serious and organised crime in the county, supported by Police and Crime Commissioner Clive Grunshaw.
