Drugs with a street value of about £50,000 have been seized by police in a swoop on what officers described as a professional cannabis factory.

Officers found the haul at a property in Cambridge Road, Hastings, after acting on weeks of intelligence-led information.

Police say they discovered a highly-organised hydroponics factory growing cannabis plants.

Police said today large numbers of the plants stretched to more than 4ft-high, adding it was one of the biggest hydroponics seizures in Hastings in recent years.

Two people were arrested and are on police bail pending further inquiries.
