Dodgy wiring, deadly booby traps and millions of pounds in cannabis – this is what was found inside some of the region’s biggest drug farms.

West Midlands Police teams have raided houses, pubs and even a former Conservative Club as they smash big-money drug dens.

But some of these hidden and often dangerous places have sinister contraptions to keep officers from getting in – including a door laced with barbed wire.

Shocking images from inside the set-ups show rows of large potted plants thriving beneath artificial lamps.

A network of wires and large silver ducting tubes can be seen above the plants, along with fans to regulate the temperature inside the growhouse.

These are some of the biggest busts so far this year:

Parkfield Road, Alum Rock

Police uncovered the huge drugs farm in a two-storey unit on Parkfield Road, Alum Rock during a bust at 8pm on Friday, April 17.

An astonishing 1,000 cannabis plants, said to be nearing maturity and worth around £1 million, were found by officers carrying out the emergency warrant on the address.

Tipton Conservative Club Union Street, Tipton.

A huge cannabis farm was uncovered at the former Tipton Conservative Club.

More than 1,000 plants – worth an estimated £1 million – were discovered inside the historic building in Union Street.

All of the plants and equipment were seized by police.
