A 25 year old man has been arrested on suspicion of
producing a controlled drug, theft and using electricity without authority.
Last Wednesday (29/1), Thames Valley Police and PANIU (Plant
and Agriculture National Intelligence Unit) officers attended a yard in the Dry
Sandford area of Abingdon.
Upon gaining entry, a large breeze block building was
discovered and found to contain a large cannabis factory with approximately 40
full grown suspected cannabis plants along with cultivation equipment.
At the rear of the yard, several large shipping containers
containing numerous power tools, a quad bike, compressors, lathes and cutting
equipment which are suspected to be stolen.
These items have been seized and ongoing enquiries are being
made by the investigating officers.
A tractor which is also believed to have been stolen was
also recovered from the site. The tractor is believed to have been stolen on
the 8 October 2013 from Chesham in Buckinghamshire.
Also discovered were three Ifor Williams trailers believed
to have been stolen from the Metropolitan area back in 1999 and an Atlas Copco
