Three men have been arrested after more than 1,500 cannabis plants were seized during a police raid.

Officers discovered the cultivation – plus equipment – after carrying out a drugs warrant at a commercial unit in Ramsgate this morning.

During the visit, three men were seen leaving the back of the building and were detained by officers.

UK Power Networks also attended to help make the scene safe, following concerns the electricity to the building had been tampered with.

Three men, aged 33, 43, and 48, have been arrested on suspicion of cultivating cannabis and abstracting electricity and taken into custody while enquiries continue.
