Man charged after cannabis farm found in Morecambe

A man has been charged after a cannabis farm worth £100,000 was found at a property in Morecambe.

In the early hours of yesterday morning (Thursday April 4), officers from the Road Crime Team were alerted to a property on Albert Road in Morecambe.

Upon entering the address, officers found a large-scale cannabis grow of around 250 plants located over four floors.

Evidence was also found that the electricity had been bypassed, and Electricity North West attended to make the area safe.

Gent Baneta, 41, from Albert Road Morecambe, has been charged with cultivation of cannabis and has been remanded into custody.

Operation Warrior is Lancashire Police’s response to tackling serious and organised crime in Lancashire.

It aims to target the individuals and gangs involved in crime, as well as associated issues such as violence and intimidation, large scale drug supply, exploitation, and fraud, all of which can cause serious harm to local communities.

If you have any concerns or information about crime happening in your area, you can report this by calling 101 or 999 in an emergency, or anonymously to Crimestoppers via 0800 555 111.
