Drugs police have found 160 cannabis plants after two raids in Shepway.

Officers carried out searches at properties in Folkestone and Hythe yesterday.

They seized the plants and cultivation equipment but no arrests have been made.

Kent Police raided a property in Albion Place in Hythe where 100 plants were seized.

Later in the day a warrant was also carried out at a property in Augusta Gardens in Folkestone.

In that raid, 60 plants and cultivation equipment were seized.

A neighbour in Augusta Gardens came home at around 5.30pm to see a police van and car outside the property.

They also said vans from UK Power Networks were outside the property - which is opposite Folkestone Police Station.

She said: "They are taking out a lot of power equipment. There's a big police van and taking out a big ventilation fan and insulation tubes.

"It came as a big surprise and got home and saw them unloading."

Police said inquiries are ongoing.
