A CANNABIS factory has been shut down in Potters Bar after a tip off from a member of the public.

Officers seized 100 mature plants, worth around £40,000, in Cranborne Industrial Estate, in Cranborne Road, on Monday, March 7.

PCSO Chris Ramdeen, from the Potters Bar neighbourhood team, found the factory.

A 33-year-old man from London was arrested on suspicion of cultivating cannabis plants and bailed until April 18.
