A MAN has been released on bail after a police raid discovered more than 100 cannabis plants, worth thousands of pounds on Canvey.

The Echo revealed earlier this week how officers swooped on a unit in Charfleets Industrial Estate with a search warrant to find 130 plants which were at various stages of development.

A 36-year-old man was arrested at the scene, and meanwhile officers have estimated the haul’s street value runs into thousands of pounds.

The man has been bailed until Monday, April 24.
