Police uncovered a cannabis farm in Goldthorpe, near Barnsley, after receiving reports of a burglary. Officers from South Yorkshire Police found 53 fully grown cannabis plants valued at £53,000 at a property on Gosling Gate Road. The discovery was made in response to a call about masked individuals breaking in. Sgt Paul Aston emphasized the connection between cannabis cultivation and serious organized crime, urging the public to report any information about such activities. The illegal operation was found to have bypassed electricity to power the growing equipment, with cannabis ready for distribution also seized. Although no arrests were made, a thorough investigation has been initiated by the authorities. Reports on this incident and more can be found on BBC Sounds and the latest episode of Look North.
