Two men have been jailed after cannabis with a street value of a million pounds was discovered in Morecambe.
On September 5, police raided a closed-down former pet shop on Queen Street in the town.
Inside the building was a large cannabis factory with plants, with a value in excess of £1 million inside.
The plants were seized, and Electricity North West attended to make sure the area was safe.
Julian Dyrma, 30, and Mikeljantho Hasani, 26, both of no fixed address, were arrested and have been sentenced to two years in prison for the production of a controlled drug.
PC Katie Foster said: “This warrant was a joint operation by the Morecambe Neighbourhood Policing Team and the Urban Task Force. We rely on community intelligence to allow us to execute warrants such as these.
“We will continue to disrupt criminal activities such as cannabis farms. Any information can be reported to us via 101 or online via our website.
‘’You can also call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.’’
Operation Warrior is Lancashire Police’s response to tackling serious and organised crime in Lancashire, supported by Police and Crime Commissioner Clive Grunshaw.
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.
Lancashire Police and Crime Commissioner Clive Grunshaw said: "I fully support Op Warrior to crack down on organised crime in Lancashire by targeting gangs and stripping criminals of their cash, cars and other ill-gotten gains.
"The message is clear in Lancashire; organised crime will not be tolerated, and I will continue to work alongside Lancashire Police and ensure they are tackling the gangs responsible, as well as working closely with our partners to prevent young people from getting drawn into criminality in the first place."
