Around 200 suspected cannabis plants have been seized from a property in Weston.

Officers obtained a warrant to search a property in Verbena Way in Mead Vale last night (Monday) and arrested a man on suspicion of being concerned in the production of cannabis.

The plants and growing equipment are being removed today (Tuesday) by Avon and Somerset Constabulary.

Officers also called in a utility firm to make the property safe due to concerns the electricity supply had been tampered with as there have been a number of fires in Avon and Somerset as result of growing cannabis.
