Police have discovered dozens of cannabis plants with an estimated street value of £90,000.

Avon and Somerset police officers found 90 cannabis plants growing in two garden sheds at a property in Pen Park Road, in Southmead.

Police went to the property after members of the public raised suspicions.

The plants have been seized and will now be destroyed.

A man in his 50s will now attend a police station for interview.

Sergeant Richard Jones said: “Drugs have a hugely negative impact on communities and I hope this gives people confidence we will act on their concerns and encourages more people to contact us if they think people in their neighbourhood may be involved in drugs.”

If anyone has information about any suspected criminal or suspicious activity they should call us on 101.
