A tip-off from members of the public led police to uncover a large-scale cannabis factory at a Newport house today. The house in Cardiff Road, Maesglas, was full of mature cannabis plants that were almost ready for harvesting. Officers discovered the cannabis factory at 1.30am on Tuesday after responding quickly to calls reporting suspicious behaviour around the property. Two ground floor rooms and two upstairs bedrooms were filled with more than 400 cannabis plants. The house's electricity supply had been bypassed to power thousands of pounds worth of hydroponics, lighting and venting equipment. Police estimate the street value of the cannabis seized is around £70,000.
