An arrest has been made after a cannabis cultivation was found at a Margate property.
Following concerns of suspected drug use in Northdown Road, Cliftonville, reported to Kent Police, officers from the Thanet Multi-Agency Task Force attended a property during the morning of Thursday 9 September 2021.
A cultivation made up of between 15 and 20 mature cannabis plants was found and dismantled, along with cultivation equipment which was also seized.
A 57-year-old man from Margate has been arrested on suspicion of cultivating cannabis and taken into custody while enquiries continue.
