Town centre drug factory uncovered

Officers acting on a tip-off raided a home in Cornwall Road to find a full drug factory set-up and an estimated 700 plants.

Scene of crime officers were due at the property as the Observer went to press.

A man of unknown age has been arrested in connection with the discovery.

P

olice said the building was 'rammed' with plants.

Sergeant Dave Sands, part of the Rother police intelligence team who took part in the operation, said: "From receiving the information to executing the warrant took about four hours, so that was pleasing.

"It is a four bedroom house and we have found plants in every room."

The discovery follows a string of high-profile warrants executed by Bexhill Police within the last year.
