A 33-year-old man, who was found in the property on September 2, was arrested on suspicion of production of cannabis and has since been released under investigation.

A Derbyshire police spokesperson said: “We are committed to continue to engage with our local residents and act on any information they provide, in order to crack down on criminality in their communities and bring those offenders to justice.”

Anyone who suspects that drug dealing or production is taking place in their community can contact Derbyshire police in confidence on 101 or via the force’s website.
