Detective Chief Inspector Stephen Wright described how scratch and sniff cards – which replicate the smell of cannabis growing – are being distributed to the public so they can detect the smell.

“We are pleased to have removed this amount of cannabis from circulation in our community and I would urge anyone who has information in relation to drugs to contact us immediately on 101.
