A CANNABIS farm has been discovered in Nelson.

Police arrested a man on suspicion of cultivation of cannabis and seized the plants on Monday.

A police spokesman said: "Believe it or not this is not an address which is selling Christmas trees at this festive time of year.

"This address has been used to cultivate cannabis.

"Officers yesterday have arrested a male on suspicion of cultivation of cannabis and the plants have been seized.

However you’ll be glad to know they won’t be getting decorated with baubles and lights, they will in fact be getting destroyed in an incinerator.

"We will continue to target people involved in the production and supply of drugs in order to keep our community safe."
