Police have arrested a man and recovered a large quantity of Cannabis in Alderley Edge.

At around 7.50am today, Wednesday 28 February, officers executed a warrant at an address on Heywood Close.

They found more than 100 cannabis plants inside the building and arrested a 31-year-old man on suspicion of being involved in the supply of class B drugs (cannabis).

The man is currently in custody helping officers with their enquiries.

Sergeant Helen Percival, of the Macclesfield Local Policing Unit, said: "This is a fantastic result which has enabled us to remove a significant quantity of cannabis from the streets of Cheshire..

"Both the first floor and the attic at the property had been converted to produce cannabis on a large scale. The electricity had been dangerously bypassed, and more than 100 cannabis plants were discovered.

"We know the negative impact illegal drug use and supply can have on communities.

"We want people in Alderley Edge to feel safe in their communities and we are committed to doing all we can to put a stop to this sort of activity and improve the area."
