In a social media post on the Bury South Facebook page, cops branded the ‘criminals setting up these farms’ as ‘greedy’.
The officers also have said the practice will not be tolerated in the area.
“Cannabis farms like this are usually large industrial setups funded, organised and run by professional criminals who are part of organised crime groups,” the post said.
“This is not one person "enjoying a spliff" on the weekend.
“The criminals setting up these farms are greedy, this is just one of the illicit attempts to make money they use.
“They are also involved in human trafficking and forced prostitution, running of heroin and firearms and the defence of their "crops" resulting in conflicts with other criminals and violence on our streets.
“The farms regularly set on fire due to electricity bypasses causing risk to neighbouring properties, innocent except for living next door or nearby.
“You may have an opinion on cannabis as a drug, but the people setting and running these farms are organised criminals and need to be behind bars. They will not be allowed to profit from setting up in Bury South.”
