More than 1,000 cannabis plants have been seized from an industrial unit after a police raid.
Hundreds of plants were taken from an industrial estate after officers were tipped off that it may have been used to store and grow the drug.
Two men were arrested at the scene and have since been charged with cultivating cannabis.
A Sussex Police spokesman said the force’s tactical unit was “acting on intelligence” when they raided the unit at Riverside Industrial Estate in Bridge Road, Littlehampton, on Friday.
