Police officers in Yorkshire have seized more than £100,000 worth of cannabis after being called to a fire.

Officers from Humberside Police were notified of the fire on Fort Terrace in Bridlington on Sunday (Nov 30).

After enterting the property when they were called by the emergency services, officers found almost 200 plants which were believed to be cannabis.

A statement from the force said: “A scene guard was in place at the time to allow Crime Scene Investigators to attend, and officers to dismantle the grow which has since been lifted.

“Thankfully no one was believed to have been injured as a result of the fire.

Cannabis was seized from the address by officers.
