A 31-year-old has been arrested after police discovered a cannabis cultivation at a residential property.
Five police vehicles including three cars and two vans were seen in Wood Lane in Park Farm, Ashford yesterday (July 21).
They were spotted in the cul-de-sac, just off Bluebell Road and backing onto the A2070.

Kent Police has since confirmed officers had been investigating the property for two days.
