THREE men were arrested after two large cannabis farms were discovered in Wrexham county this week.

One growing unit was in a sleepy rural village, the other on an industrial estate in a World Heritage Site.

First to be raided by North Wales Police (NWP) was a "sophisticated" cannabis operation at a premises on Conery Lane, Bronington, near the Wales-England border.

After being notified of the set-up, on Sunday, a warrant was subsequently executed by the NWP Wrexham rural policing team.

Once inside the building, they discovered 2,000 cannabis plants.

Two men were arrested at the scene but have since been released.
