A cannabis factory containing an estimated £12,500 worth of the class B drug was found at a home in Chatham.

Police discovered 60 mature plants at an address in Bryant Street, following the arrest of a woman on Thursday, January 5.

The 28-year-old Chatham woman was driving a car that was pulled over in nearby Richard Street at about 1pm.

Officers searched the vehicle and discovered a large bag containing what they believed to be cannabis.

Following the woman’s arrest they also seized 11 small packets of what they think contained cocaine, and further inquiries and a search of her home, led them to the cannabis factory.

The woman has now been bailed pending further inquiries until Thursday, March 23.
