Police in Newport have found a cannabis factory in a large six-bedroom house in Coedkernew today. The detached house on Blacksmiths Way, adjacent to the A48, was full of mature cannabis plants that were almost ready for harvesting. The cannabis factory was discovered after detectives gained intelligence suggesting cannabis cultivation at the property. Officers forced entry to the house at 10.30am and found more than 200 plants growing in five rooms spread across three floors. Some of the 'skunk' cannabis plants were nearing full maturity, while others kept in a nursery room were very young. 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 £100,000.
