POLICE officers carried out a drugs bust at a property in West Moors and discovered a small cannabis farm in the loft.

Cannabis plants and several seedlings were seized from the Ringwood Road property, along with lighting and power equipment.

The warrant was executed shortly after 8am on Thursday. A specialist police dog was used to help with the search, which revealed a purpose-built cannabis farm in the loft.

Inspector Wayne Nock said “The execution of this warrant sends a strong message that we will take action against drugs offences and prevent, disrupt and detect such criminal behaviour.

“Our Safer Neighbourhood officers will continue to work closely with patrol officers to keep West Moors safe and proactively deal with information relating to drugs offences.”

Anyone with concerns or suspicions about the misuse of drugs should call Dorset Police on 101.

A 28-year-old man from West Moors was arrested. Police enquiries are continuing.
