The latest incident came after a dog had been walked on Footherly Lane.

PCSO Andrea Horsnall said it was believed the cannabis had been dumped in the area:

“Extensive fly tipping of the residue of a large cannabis grow covering a quarter of a mile along Footherly Lane was reported on 22nd November.

“The council cleared the debris but it is possible that some small remnants of cannabis plants are still along the verge of the lane.
