VILLAGERS have expressed their anger at the discovery of a drugs den in a quiet North East Lincolnshire village.

Following a tip-off a cannabis factory was found at the rear of a family home in Habrough.

Humberside Police executed a search warrant and arrested one man.

Humberside Police's Inspector Neil Pattison said: "The production of cannabis is something which affects the local community. From the property we have visited today the smell would have blown across Habrough and that is not acceptable and will no longer happen after today.

"It is the first time I have come across anything like this in Habrough but irrespective of where it is, Humberside Police will act on information received and take positive action."

To find out the results of the raid and the reaction of residents, see today's Grimsby Telegraph. .

    “alcohol is far, far worse than weed.

    these cannabis farmers should be given some sort of reward for providing at least a decent alternative to booze. unless it was poor quality weed, haha.

    as if this place was practically on my doorstep and i didnt realise... GUTTED!”

    “Gene Hunt,

    Those dead people in the mortuary, you say they all started on cannabis. I think you'll find they probably started on fags and beer. They'd probably still be dead now if there was no cannabis. That's pretty harsh and I'm sorry, but it's pretty true I think.

    Younger than I look,

    Its so nice to think that cannabis causes all these things. That way you can think that the problem is solveable. i.e. get rid of cannabis, get rid of the crime etc.

    I understand you want to think that this problem is solvable through doing something like that. But if you REALLY think about, with your head, not with your emotions, you will probably find that cannabis isn't the problem and that we need a much broader, holistic approach to solve the problems of society which you so simply link to the availability of cannabis.”

    “Concerned Parent - I went to Amsterdam recently and funnily enough the streets were not paved with dead children and pets as your comments would suggest. I sat in a cafe where many people were smoking those oh-so toxic joints and guess what...I didn't come back home a pensioner robbing addict. How strange is that?!

    I suggest you do your research (and by research I mean real medical evidence and not the propagander you read in newspapers or watch on the news) before you post stupid, uneducated rants on here. I understand your concern as a parent but as many people on here have already stated alcohol and cigarettes are far more damaging to our children than what weed will ever be.”
