A cannabis farm has been discovered after police intercepted a parcel thought to contain the drug.

Officers attended Nixon Avenue in Ramsgate on Monday, after the discovery of the package, which was addressed to a resident.

A search found a number of young plants, and a 61-year-old woman and a 41-year-old man were arrested on suspicion of the unlawful importation of Class B drugs and of cultivating cannabis.

Police also found three blocks of cannabis resin - also known as hash - in a nearby vehicle, leading to the arrest of the 31-year-old woman.

All three have now been bailed.
