Hello, my name is John Crapper and I'm the inspector in charge of the Central Rotherham
00:04
Neighbourhood Policing Team. Yesterday my team executed a search warrant at these premises here
00:09
and inside we found cannabis plants with a value of £1.4 million. I am, as you can imagine,
00:16
delighted. That's £1.4 million worth of cannabis that won't be smoked and harm the health of people
00:22
who we know and love. That's also £1.4 million that won't find its way into the pockets of
00:27
organised criminals who then go around our communities flaunting their ill-gotten wealth.
00:32
So if I have one request to make to you it's that please if you have any suspicions about a property
00:38
or premises near you please do report it. Maybe during the winter there was snow on the roof that
00:44
melted very quickly. Maybe it's meant to be unoccupied but occasionally you see people take
00:48
stuff inside or you hear noises late at night or you hear fans going or smell odd smells. Whatever it is
00:56
please do report it and as yesterday's result shows when we are able to act we will with great results.
