A cannabis factory containing approximately 100 plants has been found by police at a property in Southfleet.

Officers executed a warrant at an industrial unit off Highcross Road shortly after 9am yesterday.

In addition to the cannabis plants, which had an estimated value of £41,000, they also found lighting equipment and various other drug paraphernalia.

Ricky Odle, 48, from Leaveland near Faversham, was arrested at the scene and has since been charged with producing a controlled drug.

He has been bailed to appear before Medway magistrates on September 20.
