“Officers made the scene safe, securing evidence, dismantling the equipment and interviewing the suspects. The investigation is ongoing.
“Cannabis factories are often maintained by victims of modern day slavery. In addition they pose a significant risk to the community as they often bypass electrical safety systems, use powerful fertilisers and pose a fire risk.”
The 26-year-old man and 21-year-old woman were released on bail until May 14.
