Two men have been arrested after a cannabis factory was uncovered this afternoon.

Island officers discovered around £20,000 worth of plants in a barn at Garretts Farm, off Plough Road, Eastchurch.

The men, aged 30 and 55 from Minster, are currently in police custody.

Island inspector, Noel Stanley, said police had been given information about a cannabis factory in Eastchurch as far back as two years ago.

However, they had not been able to identify the location until more information came to light recently.
