A HOUSE being used to grow cannabis has been raided by police.

A warrant was executed on the house in Littlebrook Manor Way, Dartford, after officers on patrol noticed a strange smell coming from the three-bedroom terraced property.

Further investigation revealed the electricity meter has also been bypassed.

The raid, which took place at 10am on May 30, saw a total of 140 semi-mature cannabis plants seized and a large quantity of leaves, which had been harvested and were drying.

Specialist lighting and heating equipment were also confiscated although no arrests have yet been made in relation to the raid.

The find is the fourth to have been made in north Kent since April.

The other properties raided were in High Street, Swanscombe, Tynedale Close, Dartford and Hillhouse Road, Stone.
