POLICE chanced upon two cannabis factories in South Norwood while searching an address in connection with a burglary.
Officers executed a search warrant in Elborough Road last Saturday (November 16) in connection with a burglary in the area two days before.
However, during the search, they discovered a number of cannabis plants and growing equipment in the loft of the premises.
A further search of the adjoining premises led to the discovery of further plants.
Police arrested three men – aged 20, 30 and 52 years old - on suspicion of burglary and production of cannabis.
All three men have been bailed to return to a south London police station in mid-January pending further enquiries.
