A MAN and woman have been arrested in Wirral after police discovered a cannabis farm at a house.

Officers raided the property in Grove Road, Wallasey, yesterday morning.

They found a large quantity of sophisticated cannabis growing equipment, with an estimated value of £15,000, which was seized together with what is believed to be more than 450 cannabis plants.

A 29-year-old man and a 28-year-old woman were arrested and were last night being questioned by Merseyside Police.

Neighbourhood Insp Brian Griffiths said: “This is a significant seizure and local people should be reassured that we will continue to take positive action on any information relating to drugs activity in the area.”
