Officers from North Wales Police’s Neighbourhood Policing Team conducted “cuckooing” visits to numerous vulnerable individuals at the weekend.

Cuckooing is the name given to the process where vulnerable people are exploited by having their homes used as a base for dealing drugs.

A North Wales Police spokesperson said: “Our visits include identifying any associated criminality which often happens at the addresses of these individuals.

“One of these visits has resulted in the discovery of a small residential cannabis farm, leading to one male being arrested on suspicion of cultivating cannabis.”
