Close to 100 plants have been seized by Kent Police following the discovery of a makeshift factory in Yalding.

Officers from the Maidstone district policing team made the discovery after hearing the buzzing sound of a generator coming from two metal containers in land off Hampstead Lane on Sunday.

There was also a strong smell of cannabis with lights on inside.

Police entered shortly after 11pm and found 93 plants.

These were taken away for disposal the following morning after a warrant was issued under the Misuse of Drugs Act.

Enquiries are ongoing into who may be responsible for growing them.

Anyone with information about where drugs are being produced or sold is asked to contact police on 101.
