Over 200 cannabis plants have been found during raids across various locations in Sheffield on Wednesday. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The raids took place in Bannerdale Road, The Spinney, and Ashland Road in the South West area of Sheffield. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
South Yorkshire Police say the cannabis plants seized have an estimated street value of \u00a3210,000. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
A 56-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of producing cannabis as a direct result of one of the warrants. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The raids were carried out by neighborhood officers executing warrants as part of Operation Steel – a dedicated day of policing activity which sees resources pooled from across Sheffield to enable teams to act on the intelligence gathering which takes place as part of day-to-day policing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A speeding van was also deployed throughout the day in areas such as Bochum Parkway and Hemper Lane with 141 offences recorded in total.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sheffield South West Neighbourhood Policing Team Inspector Amy Mellor said: \u201cWe often find that cannabis setups have a direct link to the offending of organised criminal gangs who bring violence and sometimes terror to our streets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe won’t stand for it in Sheffield and I hope Wednesday’s day of action has given the public a snapshot of the work that goes in day-in, day-out in policing to disrupt and arrest harmful criminals.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
