Cannabis plants worth an estimated £200,000 were discovered at two properties in Telford on Friday morning.

Police officers attended an address on Calcott in Stirchley following reports of a disturbance.

After becoming suspicious of the property, around 155 plants were discovered and a 22-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of being concerned with the production of a controlled class B drug.

At the second address, the Neighbourhood Crime Fighting Team executed a warrant on Church Way in Stirchley where around 75 plants were found.
