Officers are appealing for information after a cannabis farm was discovered at an address in Crewe.

At around 9.50am on Saturday 2 May officers discovered more than 100 cannabis plants at an address of Bedford Street.

Following a search of the property officers seized 112 plants and a quantity of growing equipment.
