Police have uncovered a significant cannabis operation at a residence in a village, authorities revealed. The Northamptonshire Police conducted a search at the property in Harpole, Northamptonshire, following a tip-off about potential drug cultivation taking place there.

A 44-year-old man was taken into custody on suspicion of distributing a Class B substance and has since been released on bail under certain conditions. PC Chris Partridge of the Daventry and South Northamptonshire Neighbourhood Policing Team emphasized that individuals involved in cannabis farms are often coerced or trafficked into such activities, subjected to harsh living conditions. He urged anyone with information regarding cannabis cultivation in their vicinity to come forward. Authorities plan to conduct a thorough investigation to determine the individuals behind the operation and its financial beneficiaries. Additionally, the arrested individual is being interrogated regarding possession of a bladed or pointed weapon in a public setting.
