OVER 100 cannabis plants have been seized from a farm in the Chumleigh area.

Police carried out the raid following a Misuse of Drugs Act warrant on Friday.

The warrant stemmed from community intelligence, and officers from Cullompton, Tiverton and Crediton neighbourhood teams, along with the Force Support Group. 

CID sergeant Dave MacFadden said: “This is a wonderful result.

"We were acting directly on community intelligence and we have now seized over a 100 cannabis plants plus other paraphernalia.

"This is a strong one-team effort, and working directly with the public we have managed a superb result.”

One man is currently helping police with their enquiries and awaits interview.
