Three men have been arrested following a significant drugs bust in the heart of Wolverhampton, where officers uncovered a cannabis farm containing around 100 plants.
City Centre Raid Uncovers Illicit Operation
Acting on intelligence, officers from the West Midlands Police Priority Crime Team executed a warrant at a property on Victoria Street on the morning of Saturday, 17 January 2026.
The search led them to a flat above the premises, where they discovered approximately 100 mature cannabis plants. The illicit crop was immediately seized by the authorities.
Arrests and Seizure of Weapon
During a thorough search of the scene, police also recovered a BB gun. Three men present at the location were arrested on suspicion of cultivating cannabis.
The individuals, aged 32, 36, and 58, were taken into custody for questioning. They have since been released on police bail pending further investigation, a standard procedure as inquiries continue.
Appeal for Community Information
A spokesperson for West Midlands Police confirmed the details of the operation and urged the public to remain vigilant. The force has issued a direct appeal for information from local residents.
"If you are concerned about this kind of activity happening where you live, or have any information that could help our officers, call us and report it," the spokesperson said.
People can contact the force by calling 101 or using the live chat function on the official West Midlands Police website. Information can also be passed anonymously to the independent charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
This raid underscores ongoing police efforts to tackle organised drug cultivation within urban communities, often linked to broader criminal networks and posing fire safety risks to neighbouring properties.
