Four floors full of cannabis plants were today discovered by South Wales Police in a derelict building in Maesteg.

A total of 996 cannabis plants together with sophisticated growing equipment were seized by officers who raided the premises at 6am.

Police raided the building - a disused pub known as the Traveller’s Rest which is on High Street in Nantyffyllon - after suspicious visits to the property came to the attention of two Neighbourhood Policing Officers who patrol the area.

Two Chinese nationals have been arrested and are being questioned in Bridgend Police Station.

Divisional Commander Tim Jones said, “This is a significant find which I am in no doubt will have an impact on the distribution of illegal drugs in the borough.

“I would like to take the opportunity to praise two community support officers whose vigilance whilst walking the beat has really paid off.

“We have two men in custody, and I can tell you that they are both of Chinese origin. We believe this raid today will close down a significant operation which is very likely the brain child of an organised gang.

“I cannot stress enough the importance that members of the public report suspicious behaviour to us. They really are the police’s eyes and ears, and an invaluable ally in the fight against drug related crime.”

The building has been cordoned off whilst specialist forensic officers carry out examinations in the building.
