A man has been arrested after reports of a strange smell lead police to a cannabis cultivation.

Officers also seized a number of plants after resident's noses tipped them off in Ashford.

More than 25 plants were seized during a raid on an address in Bank Street at 9.30pm on Tuesday.

A 31-year-old man from the Ashford area was arrested on suspicion of cultivating cannabis, and has since been released under investigation.
