A MISUSE of Drugs Act warrant was executed at a farm in the Chulmleigh area on Friday morning, February 26, which lead to the seizure of a large amount of cannabis plants.

The warrant stemmed from community intelligence, and the operation included officers from Cullompton, Tiverton and Crediton neighbourhood teams along with the Force Support Group and CID.

Crediton Police Sergeant Dave MacFadden said: “This is a wonderful result. We were acting directly on community intelligence and we have now seized more than a 100 cannabis plants plus other paraphernalia.

"This is a strong one-team effort, and working directly with the public we have managed a superb result.”

One man is currently helping police with their enquiries and awaits interview.
