Police have shut down a £700K cannabis factory in Huntingdon.

Neighbourhood officers discovered the cannabis factory in Judson Court on Friday 1 November 2024, and seized 735 plants, with a street value of more than £700,000, across three rooms.

No arrests have been made and an official investigation is ongoing.

The seizure follows concerns raised by members of the public.

Watch as police discover the operation:

 

Some key signs to spot a property that could be being used as a cannabis factory:

  • Frequent visitors to a property at unsocial hours throughout the day and night
  • Blacked out windows or condensation on the windows, even when it is not cold outside
  • Bright lights in rooms throughout the night
  • Electricity meters being tampered with/altered and new cabling, sometimes leading to street lighting. High electricity bills can also be an indicator
  • A powerful, distinctive, sweet, sticky aroma and noise from fans
  • An excessive amount of plant pots, chemicals, fertilisers and compost.
