A cannabis farm has been discovered growing in the aptly-named Pot House Lane.

Around 200 plants with lighting and cultivation equipment were seized from an upstairs bedroom of a farmhouse yesterday.

Lancashire Police officers, who found the factory at the address in Oswaldtwistle, Lancashire, estimated its street value as up to £80,000.

PC Kat Stokes said: “This was a very sophisticated set up which had clearly been going for some time.

"Clearly someone has been tending to the crop on a regular basis and we are carrying out forensic inquiries to find out who was responsible. "
