How did they manage to grow that with an Airsoft site running in the same spot!!

It was a blocked off section of the tunnels, and with 4 miles of nuclear bunker, most of which being pitch black, it's very easy. Trust me, I helped re-wire the lighting in there!

I just loved one of the comments by the police. "Any suspicious activity" (People with 'guns' anyone)

Didn't they stop playing airsoft there a while back? It's been pretty much derelict from what I'd heard, so not too difficult a task I'd imagine.

A quote from the article
“While executing the warrant at Drakelow Tunnels, we discovered a large and sophisticated cannabis growing operation,” said Kevin Purcell, North Worcestershire Superintendent, local paper The Shuttle reported. “Although the plants will need to be tested, it would appear that this seizure has prevented a large quantity of illegal drugs ending up on the streets.”

Yeah, send them to me for testing. Ill let you know if its weed or not, just give me a week lol.

That must of been a nice job, did you redo it in pyro as per original? (I'm assuming it was pyro to begin with, if anything like the power station I'm working at everything is in it and very neat too!)

At least the Crooks know their stash is in safe hands and will be kept secure..

This was sent from a Hudl*

Slight inaccuracy, the plants were apparently found in an out building around the tunnel. As far as I know the main tunnel wasn't involved and the landlord seems happy enough to keep letting people use it for airsoft.

Its still being used as a site. I heard that it was going to be turned into a museum shame cause its one of my favorite sites. No wind, cqc to long range, dark & light, same temperature all year round.

it would be hard to mask the smell of 400 plants in a tunnel , not surprised it was an out building.

Nothing a few big carbon filters can't sort out!

Damn, I would've liked to stumble across that myself

I'd say it's highly likely that (unless they're running diesel generators) they got busted for the sheer amount of electricity being used.
