Two men have been arrested after police found a cannabis farm following a raid on a former pet shop in Morecambe town centre.
Police executed a search warrant at the closed-down former Blanco's pet shop building on Queen Street on Thursday morning.
Officers found more than 500 cannabis plants inside the property.
Two men, aged 25 and 20, were arrested on suspicion of cultivation of cannabis and are currently in custody.
Evidence was also found that the electricity meter had been by-passed, causing disruption throughout the premise. Electricity North West attended the address to ensure the area was safe.
The shop has been closed since April 2023.
Police are pictured below entering the premises on Queen Street on Thursday morning.
