Large scale cannabis farm discovered at disused Boston shop

Around 3,000 cannabis plants have been discovered in a disused shop in Boston, Lincs.

The cannabis farm was spread over 4 floors of the shop and even included beds and a living area, thought to be for the use of ‘the cannabis farmers’ or those securing their investment.

The surprise discovery was made by uniformed officers on a regular patrol around the  Market Place, at around 12.30am today [1st November]. The site however was unmanned when the discovery was made and therefore the guilty party have not yet been brought to justice.

Police authorities have left a scene guard in situ, and are naturally keen to hear from anyone who may have information that could lead to a prosecution.

If you have any information, no matter how small or insignificant it may seem, there are a number of ways to get in touch:

  • Call 101, quoting incident 8 of 1November.
  • Email force.control@lincs.police.uk putting “incident 8 of 1 November” in the Subject line.
  • Contact Crimestoppers, anonymously, on 0800 555111.
