Police have made a number of arrests in Gloucester after cannabis was discovered in the city.
Officers were alerted when a group of people in balaclavas were spotted by police on CCTV loading bags into a car parked on a street in the city centre.
The vehicle was stopped as it passed St Oswalds Retail Park while officers searched the property. More than 100 cannabis plants were found at the address. The grow has now been dismantled and the plants will be destroyed.
As a result of the find, four people were arrested at the scene on suspicion of the manufacture of a Class B drug.
Those who have been arrested are all aged in their 20s and 30s, and are from the West Midlands. They remain in police custody at this time and enquiries are continuing.
