Police have seized around 1,300 cannabis plants in a raid on a Pembrokeshire property.

Two men were arrested following the swoop in Yerbeston in the south of the county last Wednesday (January 7).

Officers are now reminding landlords to be aware of the way in which their tenants are using their property.

A Dyfed-Powys police spokesman said: "Police executed a warrant under the Misuse of Drugs Act at a property in the Yerbeston area of Kilgetty on Wednesday January 7.

"A 25-year-old male and 52-year-old male were arrested on suspicion of being concerned in the production of cannabis with intent to supply. Both men were released on bail pending police enquiries. Approximately 1,300 cannabis plants were seized at the property."

Detective Sergeant Mark Richards added: "Anyone who has rented out property and are suspicious because of the lack of activity at the address; windows have been boarded up from the inside and they are not being allowed access to the property are asked to contact the police on 101."
