A man has been arrested after police raided a house in Connaught Road, Luton, yesterday evening.
Police in Luton executed a search warrant yesterday evening (Feb 19) after a house in Connaught Road was found set up as a cannabis factory.
Members of the Special Constabulary attended the address and found cannabis together with a hydroponics lighting system which had been fitted in the property.
During the subsequent search of the house a bag containing what is thought to be cocaine and various weapons were also seized.
A 27 year old man was arrested at the address on suspicion of cultivating cannabis and possession of a class A drug (cocaine).
He has since been released on police bail pending further investigations.
Police Sergeant Pauline Leng, who is based at Luton Police Station, said: “This was an excellent result which illustrates the dedication of the Special Constabulary officers who give their own time to protect and keep the public safe.”
