Cannabis factories smashed in Smith's Wood

POLICE have swooped to shut down two drugs factories in Smith's Wood in as many days.
A warrant was executed at a home in Alvis Walk on Saturday (September 2) and a "large quantity" of the Class B drug was seized at the address.
Yesterday (Sunday) officers from the local neighbourhood team conducted another raid in Redwing Walk, on the other side of the estate. Once again a crop of cannabis plants was removed from the property.
At both premises, light and heating systems had been rigged up to nurture the drugs. The substance will now be incinerated.
The Solihull Police Partnership team urged anyone with information about drugs being cultivated in their neighbourhood to call Crimestoppers, anonymously, on 0800 555 111. Alternatively ring Solihull Community Housing on 0121 717 1500.
