£2million cannabis plant haul found in Radford

Around 5,000 cannabis plants have been discovered in Coventry after a tip-off from people living near an industrial estate.



Police raided an address on Sandy Lane in Radford yesterday morning.

They say what they found is possibly the biggest ever haul discovered in the city.

The street value has been estimated at around £2 million.

Two men hiding inside during the operation were arrested and the plants and the specialist equipment used to grow them are now being destroyed.
