Rochdale Police Bust Large Cannabis Farm

0:00On March 12, police in Rothschild uncovered a large cannabis farm today during a major crackdown on local crime. Officers raided a property on Reed Hill and found numerous plants inside, setting up a cordon to secure the area. This bust happened as part of Operation Avro, greater Manchester police's monthly push against illegal activity.

They urge anyone spotting suspicious setups to report them right away. Police leaders called the morning a big win, with the farm and other drugs taken off the streets. They're shifting gears this afternoon to a traffic enforcement push in the community. That's like these, keep building momentum to make Rothschild safer for everyone involved.
