SQUALID: Images shared by cops of living condtions inside a cannabis factory.

POLICE have hit back over their ongoing crackdown on cannabis factories - by revealing what life is like those ‘running’ them.

Officers have shared images of the ‘appalling’ living conditions for those often forced to keep the illegal operations ticking over.

It comes on the back of a string of recent raids across North Staffordshire including cannabis farms in Talke, Weston Coyney, Trent Vale, and Shelton.
