Police have discovered a cannabis haul of over 700 plants with a street value of £700k at a disused Walsall school.
The boarded-up Abu Bakr Boys School in Kent Street, Coalpool, was raided on Saturday night (11 April) by the West Midlands Cannabis Disposal Team.
The Islamic Day School closed over the lockdown period and didn’t re-open with police monitoring the area for a week prior to entering the premises and residents becoming increasingly concerned about their presence, which included an armed police raid in the early hours of Sunday morning.
On Monday, three men were discovered on the roof the school building and detained, though have not been confirmed to be involved. Currently, no arrests have been made.
