🚨 Big Bust in Newport! 🚓💥
In a shocking discovery, a major cannabis factory was found in the heart of Newport, right under everyone’s noses! Hung Phan, 29, was living in a flat on Commercial Street, where he was cultivating 240 cannabis plants across multiple rooms. 🌿 The police unearthed 119 plants in one room, 65 in another, and 56 in a third, all equipped with sophisticated lighting gear.
Sentenced to nine months in prison, Phan admitted to producing the Class B drug. This bust highlights ongoing efforts by the Gwent Police to clean up the city and tackle organised crime. PC Oliver Grimas conveyed reassurance to residents, noting a drop in crimes such as commercial burglaries and violence. 🚔 Crime may have decreased, but the police remain vigilant against threats from organised crime groups, whose drug profits can wreak havoc on communities. 🕵️♂️
Authorities urge landlords and property owners in Newport and beyond to regularly check their premises, ensuring they aren’t used for illegal activities.
