The Lion, the Spliff and the Wardrobe!

A secret pot farm was found in a wardrobe by Norwich Police last week.

The discovery was made after locals told police they thought neighbours were illegally cultivating drugs. Officers then raided the property on Tuesday 8 January, uncovering a secret passageway hidden within a wardrobe, which led to a Cannabis-growing operation.

And they say having a potted plant in your room is good for you…

The passage was hidden by a curtain and led directly to an outside garage used to grow and store the class B drug.

Officers had to crawl through a 3ft by 2ft hole at the back of the wardrobe to access the hidden room.

There has been an increase in the domestic production of Cannabis as official reports suggest that the UK has quite literally ‘gone green’ and no longer imports but grows the majority of cannabis consumed in the UK.
