A large cannabis farm has been sniffed out in the upstairs of a Sunderland social club .

The haul was uncovered by officers who were responding to a call out on a separate issue.

Police were called to the Ivy Leaf Club, on Suffolk Street, Hendon, in Sunderland at 6.46pm on Sunday, July 30, following reports of a break-in.

However while on the job the officers noticed a strong smell of cannabis.

Police then discovered a cannabis farm in the upstairs with approximately 150 plants as well as lighting and heating equipment.

Police have dismantled the farm and disposed of the cannabis plants and a 53-year-old man was arrested and cautioned over the find.

Sunderland East Neighborhood Inspector Jamie Southwell said: "We will continue to tackle drugs and drug supply and take action to target those suspected of being involved.

"If people have concerns about drugs misuse they are urged to contact their local neighborhood team via 101."

A 53-year-old man was arrested and given a caution for producing cannabis but police say enquiries are ongoing.

It's baffling that moronic people don't use the necessary tools to "scrub" the air while farming illegally.

It's baffling that moronic people don't use the necessary tools to "scrub" the air while farming illegally.

There was a break in. Perhaps his gear was tampered with. Or perhaps the police were told the grow was there, went in on the pretense of a reported breakin, and claimed to smell it even though there was no smell detectable. It happens all the time.
This was over a social club, with that many plants. It would have been impossible to conceal in any manner. Someone would have mentioned it to him. My guess is he had plenty of filtering.
