Investigation underway after cannabis grow discovered in Preston

Police are investigating following the discovery of a cannabis farm in Preston.

Following information from the community, officers from the Prosper Partnership Team attended an address on Skeffington Road at around 11.30am yesterday (Sunday 23rd November 2025).

Once inside, they discovered around 100 cannabis plants growing across multiple rooms. There was also evidence that the electricity had been bypassed and Electricity North West attended to make sure the area was safe.

At this time, no arrests have been made, and enquiries are ongoing.

Operation Warrior is Lancashire Police’s response to tackling serious and organised crime in Lancashire, supported by Police and Crime Commissioner Clive Grunshaw.

It aims to target the individuals and gangs involved in crime, as well as associated issues such as violence and intimidation, large scale drug supply, exploitation, and fraud, all of which can cause serious harm to local communities.
