Police are set to destroy over 300 cannabis plants after they discovered a massive cannabis cultivation near Dartford on Tuesday, July 21.

Police officers discovered the site after patrolling officers noticed the strong smell of cannabis and investigated.

The officers manage to secure entry to an industrial unit off Lombard Street, Horton Kriby, in Kent, not far from Swanley and Dartford.

The cultivation of drugs was discovered inside, and the plants, many of which police described as being"mature", have now been removed from the property.

Kent Police say the cannabis collection is now set to be destroyed.
