POLICE have uncovered a cannabis factory at an Ipswich town centre restaurant, a spokesman for Suffolk Constabulary said today.
Officers made the find when they raided Jamil’s Koh-i-Noor in Crown Street.
They carried out a search warrant at the premises yesterday and found what is said to be a substantial quantity of cannabis plants.
It is understood the plants were at various stages of growth.
Police returned to the premises today to continue their inquiries.
Part of the building had been converted into conditions in which the Class B drug could be grown in.
Hydroponic equipment is also said to have been found on site.
A man was arrested during Tuesday’s raid.
The 33-year-old was taken to Ipswich police station where he was interviewed by officers throughout yesterday and today.
