Three people have been arrested after hundreds of cannabis plants were seized at a disused commercial site.

This morning, a warrant led by the Kent and Essex Serious Crime Directorate was carried out in School Lane, Ramsgate.

The building contained rooms filled with cannabis cultivations, with what is believed to be more than 900 plants.

Officers from the Thanet Task Force and the Divisional Support Unit seized the drugs and dismantled the cultivations, clearing the rooms of all equipment.

Three men were arrested on suspicion of cultivating cannabis – one aged 35 and two aged 22.

They all currently remain in custody while inquiries continue.
