Cannabis farms increasingly being found in rented properties, police say
Police say they are finding increasing numbers of cannabis farms in rented properties, making it harder to find the organised crime gangs responsible.
Sky News spoke with the chief executive of the British Landlords Association, who has also fallen victim.
He told us it was “horrific” when he entered his property to find it had been used to grow the drug.

Why is cannabis illegal in the UK and not in Canada where its legally bought even with king charles on its currency. Be interesting how much the Royal family make from cannabis tax in Canada
Nice buds!😮
Could save the farming crisis by giving British farmers licenses to grow.
We gotta earn money somehow with all starmers taxes
We all know it should be legal if your growing for yourself and ya mate’s. But alot of these people are being paid to rent a room to grow them. If the government didn’t make it so hard for uk residents they wouldn’t have to do it.
This isnt news , this has been done in rental properties for ever .
If Alcohol was introduced Today it would be Illegal Alcohol has caused more Deaths and more harm to Society more violence and more crime Alcohol Abuse is the root cause of all Evil Alcohol is Destroying Society Peoples Health Peoples Lives Children’s Lives it’s the Worst Substance ever and it’s legal Pubs and Bargain Booze on every street Corner alcohol is the Reason why society is so badly Broken 😞
Horrible
We need tougher sentences for these people supplying drugs and growing cannabis
Let people grow their own recreational cannabis. 2-4 plants 🙏 the govt sells it as medicine and the UK is the largest exporter in cannabis? How when they say its illegal? Only the govt can sell it on massive scales, not the people, the govt don’t get their tax!!
Alcohol killed 8000 in England this year, sort that problem out first!
Durka, durka !!!
It’s not just the big cities. It’s everywhere
This is the only way people can afford the rent.
In Canada this is a legal, regulated and taxed business.
Don’t lie about that death the boy died because the other guy was making shatter not growin it
That explosion was not a grow tbe explosion was from somebody extracting thc using butane gasses 😢 bit of mis information there
NAaaa u dont say lol because a class b drug is still illegal and there’s the whole fck’ing uk smoking that crap
I baulk at the stoner idiots on the thread suggesting this drug is decriminalised.
Make it legal
So fkn what ?
Cannabis 🪴🌿 has been Legalised in Germany 🇩🇪 Canada 🇨🇦
What a shameless waste of resources.
Legalize it.
We all know cannabis is far less harmful than many legal substances, like alcohol. Beyond that, it has clear medical benefits for people suffering from chronic pain, Parkinson’s disease, and other serious conditions.
How much money do police spend enforcing laws against a relatively harmless plant? Legalizing cannabis would free up valuable law enforcement resources to focus on more serious crimes.
If it were legal, corporations could enter the market, encouraging competition and driving prices down. This would reduce the incentive to grow cannabis illegally in homes, and it would cut criminals out of a major income stream.
It’s a win-win.
Sky on the spot…. 15years late.
This is so factually inaccurate it’s hilarious. Criminalise electricity.
Just legalise it. It’s harmless and needs to be regulated. Someone is profiting hugely from the criminalisation of this herb.
Legalize it and the police can focus on real crime…
British police = s
All the landlords or part of it.
Sky News really trying hard to use the death of a young boy to further demonize a plant that is less of a hazard than Alcohol. The UK is decades behind on this and should look to European countries on how Cannabis can be regulated. The police state war on drugs has failed.
I reckon their rent should be confiscated from the landlord as proceeds of crime.
So what? THAT PLANTS THE LARGEST LEGAL EXPORT FROM THE UK 🤨
Of course it is, it always has been.
why do UK cannabis bust videos feel like its 1998
The police waging war on a plant, I’d rather they concentrate on real crimes
higher penalties?
Small timers 😂. Apart from stealing electricity what else have they done wrong? I dont see any suffering or risk to human life here, the bypass was done safely based on what they said about it, so what justification do they have other than a stupid medievel law saying its illegal. People aint stupid, and this is why there is no respect for the laws, they are not based upon anything real or scientific
