Armed police have raided what appears to be a cannabis farm in Spalding last night (Tuesday) after tracing stolen vehicle.
Lincolnshire Rural Crime Action Team say it was a ‘known location’ with police saying it’s at a site off the A16 near Spalding.
Officers discovered 18 large bags of cannabis, 15 cannabis grows and a host of stolen vehicles including five trailers, a JCB, a quad bike and a wood chipper.
They also seized a ‘very thin’ young German Shepherd for a concern over its welfare.
No arrests have been made in relation to the finds as yet, a police spokesman said this morning at 10.30am.
A spokesman for the Rural Crime Action Team said: “Following some great work by members of our Armed Response team through the previous night where a stolen vehicle had been tracked to a known location near to Spalding.
