Avon and Somerset Police are asking for the public’s help in identifying the location of Cannabis Farms.
Cannabis farms are places used to grow cannabis on a large scale and often contain hundreds of plants.
The properties are usually fitted with specialist equipment, such as high-intensity lights and fans, as well as a lot of electrical re-wiring
They can be found in residential properties, vacant commercial buildings, industrial units and warehouses, derelict buildings and rural buildings and barns.
Police and Crime Commissioner, Mark Shelford says cannabis farms often look normal at first glance but blacked-out windows, a sickly aroma and the sound of industrial fans can indicate a farm is being operated.
Other signs to check if a property is being used as a cannabis farm include:
- People frequently visiting the property throughout the day and night
- Blacked-out windows
- High levels of condensation on windows
- Noise from fans
- Large amounts of rubbish
- Lots of wiring and fans coming out of a building
