A MAN has been arrested after police raiding a town centre property found a ‘six foot tall Christmas tree’ of cannabis.
Officers from the Barnsley tasking team attended the house on Henshall Street yesterday (Thursday).
A South Yorkshire Police spokesperson commented on the plant’s festive appearance in a photo posted to social media, adding: “It's not a six foot Christmas tree, it's a six foot cannabis plant.
“The Barnsley tasking team found a cannabis set at a property on Henshall Street today.
We have been at the heart of our community, every week, since 1858. The town and its people have changed dramatically since then but the Chronicle has been a constant.
It’s our belief that news should be available to everyone regardless of their circumstance. But we need a little helping hand to do so.
Production Editor, Ashley Ball, said: "In an ever changing media world, it’s important that news is reported correctly and without any hidden agenda.
Your support allows us to keep holding decision-makers to account and report on everything that happens in the town, good or bad, fairly."
