A MAN has been arrested today, (Friday, October 21), after police found several hundred cannabis plants at two separate addresses in Malvern.

Officers executed a warrant under the Misuse of Drugs Act at the properties - which are both in Wordsworth Green, off Tennyson Drive, - and discovered what is described as a large scale cannabis ‘factory'.

The plants were being grown under a lighting system in most rooms of the houses. The street value of the drugs is not yet known.

A man in his 20s is currently in custody on suspicion of cultivating cannabis whilst police continue their investigation at the properties.
