Suffolk landlords urged to join cannabis fight [UK]

Landlords across Suffolk are being given tips on how to spot tenants who use their homes to create cannabis factories, after statistics revealed a 60pc rise in the number uncovered by police over the last three years.

A new guide has been written by Suffolk police to try to combat the figures which show that in 2004/05, 13 offences of cannabis production, which involved at least 10 plants being confiscated, were recorded, with 734 plants being seized. That rose in 2007/08 to 21 crimes, with 1,321 plants being confiscated.

The guide, Keeping Illegal Drugs out of Rental Properties, is being hand-delivered to Suffolk letting agents and landlords and lists tell-tale signs to identify tenants using buildings to produce illegal drugs.

Robin Pivett, drug reduction and prevention officer, said cannabis factories are often set up in houses in the suburbs rented solely for the purpose. Interiors are stripped and plants grown under hothouse conditions in every room.

He said: “When drug criminals operate out of rental properties, the local neighbourhood suffers and property managers and landlords often pay a high price. These premises are a danger, not only because the drugs that are grown will then be sold on our streets, but also because the premises themselves can potentially be a hazard.”

Earlier this week, police arrested two men on suspicion of producing cannabis in Gipsy Lane, Frostenden, near Southwold. They also seized nine large cannabis plants, cash and growing equipment. The men were bailed to return to Halesworth police station on March 2.

Well people do damage the property when they turn the whole thing into a grow......overload circuits and things like that.

Most people that grow for themselves are not going to do things like that, hope that doesn't hurt those people to badly...and the landlords are likely to accept cash for people growing large grows.

Drug chemicals are going to be more abundant and survive longer than any anti-drug agendas. Some of us are just ahead of the game, we already know what the future will understand. Drugs weren't bad but how some people used them were and some people just were bad because they had to be.
