Police officers have unearthed a £4,000 cannabis factory in a suburban home.

Sussex Police raided an address in Wolverstone Drive, Brighton, on Tuesday and discovered a cannabis growing operation in the loft with 10 medium size plants and eight fully grown plants.

One woman, a 59-year-old woman from Brighton, was arrested on suspicion of production of cannabis and bailed until November 3 while a 59-year-old man from Brighton attended the police station voluntarily and was questioned for cultivating cannabis.

He has subsequently been released without charge.
