MORE than 250 cannabis plants with an estimated street value of £120,000 have been discovered in an derelict Oldham factory.
Plants and equipment were found in several rooms across three floors at the building in Bow Street yesterday morning.
The Chronicle was given exclusive access to see the farm, which included two rooms purposely created for housing around 100 plants and a third-floor room containing scores of plants.
Three men were arrested on suspicion of cannabis production.
