A haul of cannabis worth £16,000 has been seized by police officers during a search of a caravan in Nottingham.
According to the Nottingham Post, officers found 32 cannabis plants when searching the tourer at Danes Hill in Lound, near Retford.
Despite the impressive haul, no one was occupying the caravan at the time so an arrest has not yet been made.
However, samples have been sent to the lab for testing, with the plants being destroyed.
PC Nathan Thomas explained to the newspaper that the next step for the police force is to identify who was responsible for cultivating the plants, so that “appropriate action” can be taken against them.
He told the news provider: “This discovery will have caused significant disruption to those who planned to profit from this particular cannabis grow.
“It should also send out a clear message that we will act positively if we have any reason to suspect that drugs are being produced or sold in Nottinghamshire.”
While we all enjoy holidaying in our caravans, this is not the first time that some people have used their tourers for altogether more illegal purposes.
It was only in February that Scottish police seized heroin and cannabis worth £60,000 from a caravan park in Moray.
