A cannabis factory in Larkhall ward has been closed down following a police raid. Officers from Lambeth CID and the borough’s Territorial Support Group (based on Union Road) raided the property on Andalus Road and discovered 30 cannabis plants growing in one of the rooms. A 44-year-old man was arrested and bailed to appear at Kennington Police Station in December.
As well as the 30 plants there was also evidence of a previous crop having been harvested
and other suspected drugs paraphernalia. The raid, which involved 20 officers, came after a tip off from local residents worried about the possibility of living near a drugs factory.

Detective Inspector Will Reynolds, from Lambeth CID, said: “This is an excellent example of partnership policing with local communities working closely with the police. Information was forwarded by the community regarding concerns around an address in their neighbourhood. The information was tested and acted upon and by taking this action, hopefully the quality of life for local residents will have been improved, the community made safer and a clear message sent out that any drug activity will not be tolerated.”
If you have suspicions about illegal activity in your area please contact the Larkhall Safer Neighbourhoods Team, or if you wish to report it anonymously then speak to Cllr Pete Robbins who would be happy to report it for you.
