DRUG raids have been carried out at two disused night clubs in Bolton town centre.

Officers found a 'large-scale, mature' cannabis farm in the building which formerly housed Club Ice and The Late Club in Bank Street after raiding it at 8.40am today.

The value of the drugs found has not yet been confirmed but is understood to be worth thousands.

Scenes of Crime Officers (SOCO) are due at the scene soon to investigate before the drugs are removed.

Sgt Kev Lister, of Bolton Central neighbourhood policing team, said: "We are quite happy with how things have gone this morning.

"We executed a search warrant following information that we have received from the general public.

"We have conducted a methodical search of the building and are confident no one is inside.

"It is a large-scale, mature and very organised cannabis farm.

"The scene has been made safe by an electrician."

The building externally houses two clubs but it is believed it is just one facility inside as an internal wall has been knocked through.
