A DARFIELD property which went up in flames this morning was found to house a cannabis farm back in November.
Five fire engines and one turntable ladder tackled a blaze at a property on Morrison Road this morning (Wednesday).
Back in November, police found a cannabis grow containing approximately 30 plants and subsequently arrested a 36-year-old man on suspicion of production of cannabis, but he has since been released with no further action taken.
It was the same property that firefighters tackled this morning.
