TWO men arrested in connection with the discovery of a cannabis farm in Lymm have been released by police.

The grow was discovered after a 20-year-old man and a 15-year-old boy were arrested in a car in the Orford area at around 7pm on Tuesday, June 30.

Shortly afterwards, officers searched an address on Whitesands Road and found the cannabis farm inside.

Huge bags filled with plants were seen being carried out of the house in question, with forensics teams clothed in white overalls also at the scene.

Cheshire Police have since confirmed that a 49-year-old man arrested on suspicion of production of cannabis has been released under investigation.

And the 20-year-old, who was held on suspicion of being concerned in the supply of drugs and possession of drugs, has been released with no further action to be taken against him.

The teen was previously released under investigation after being detained on suspicion of theft of a motor vehicle.
