A Hockley cannabis farm valued at £250,000 has been unearthed, leading to hundreds of plants being confiscated.

The Operation Falcon team from Essex Police swiftly responded to a “community contact,” leading them to an industrial estate in Hockley.

This discovery holds an estimated street value of approximately £250,000.
