Police force entry into a disused BHS shop in Slough after identifying it as a cannabis factory. Officers find more than 1,700 cannabis plants inside the premises, located across two floors and at various stages of maturity.
The outlets describe the site as previously abandoned and now operated as an indoor cultivation set-up. One report characterizes the venture as a high-value operation, estimating a cost of about £1.3 million, based on the scale of the plants and the facilities involved. The report notes that the plants are distributed throughout the building rather than in a single area.
Across the available coverage, the core points are consistent: police identify the premises as being used to grow cannabis, enter the shop forcibly, and discover a large number of plants on-site. Differences in emphasis appear mainly in the estimated value and descriptive details of the cultivation operation rather than in the basic facts.
