Officers armed with a search warrant discovered the "large scale" cannabis factory in a detached house, in Clyro, Powys.

Dyfed-Powys Police said it dismantled the operation following the discovery on Wednesday.

Two men, aged 45 and 39, from Birmingham, and a third man, aged 36, from Wolverhampton were arrested on suspicion of production of cannabis.

They were later released on police bail while investigations continue.

Sergeant Ciaran Ryan, of Dyfed-Powys Police, said: “This is a significant result for police and the community of Clyro.

"A large amount of cannabis has been prevented from being sold on our streets.

"The production and supply of illegal drugs will not be tolerated or ignored by Dyfed-Powys Police.

"We will act on the intelligence picture we build of suspicious goings on and will take action wherever possible.

“There are signs to look out for in a community that can signify drugs activity and I would urge anyone who suspects this is happening in their neighbourhood, to contact us.”
