On Tuesday 8 September, Op Galaxy officers, alongside the Hull Central Neighbourhood Team, descend upon a property on Holderness Road, Hull to execute a misuse of drugs act warrant.
Upon entry to the property, in excess of 400 cannabis plants of varying stages of growth were discovered, with an approximate street value of £200k. A 30-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of cultivation of cannabis and remains in police custody as their investigation progresses.
The sophisticated set up involved dangerous tampering with electricity which has now been made safe, so that it can’t pose potential risk to neighbouring residents and businesses.
This weekend, two men and two woman were arrested on suspicion of supplying Class A drugs on Saturday 5 September following a search of a property on Harrington Street, Cleethorpes.

The four have been released under investigation whilst the police continue their enquiries.
