These reports were investigated, leading to the authorisation and execution of a Misuse of Drugs Act Warrant in the early hours of [Tuesday] morning at an address in the Old Moat area.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhilst this has yet to lead to an arrest, it has resulted in the seizure of 150 cannabis plants, removing thousands of pounds worth of illicit material from hitting the streets and derailing future criminal endeavours for the cultivation and supply of drugs in the south of Manchester and further afield. This would not have been possible without the support of the community, helping us direct our efforts where needed most.<\/p>\n
