POLICE are today pulling apart a cannabis factory discovered in the early hours in Haverhill.

At about 12.20am this morning two suspicious-looking men were seen by a car at the back of a property in Fritton Court.

The men attempted to leave in the car but were stopped by officers.

The car was searched and both men were arrested on suspicion of being concerned in the production and supply of controlled drugs.

Police then went into the property and about 400 cannabis plants and hydroponic equipment were found.

The property will be made safe this morning before scenes of crime officers examine the cannabis factory.

The men, a 34-year-old from London and a 21-year-old from Cambridge, are currently in custody at Bury police station where they will be questioned.
