REGIONAL
The Street in Burnley OFFICERS who mistakenly gained access to the wrong home while on a welfare check discovered more than £20,000 worth of cannabis. Police were called to the Trinity area of Burnley to help a man who it was reported was suicidal, but ended up instead on Piccadilly Road, which runs parallel to the correct location. Believing there was someone inside in need of help, officers broke the home’s door down and to their surprise found 43 cannabis plants inside. The owner of the home was later arrested and interviewed by police, where he made a preprepared statement claiming not to live at the address.
