About 80 plants were found at the property in Bunyan Place, with police confirming their enquires are currently ongoing. Cannock Police said on Facebook: “Officers have today attended an address in Bunyan Place, Chadsmoor, Cannock, and discovered a cannabis grow at the property with approximately 80 cannabis plants.
