POLICE have seized around 40 cannabis plants which were being grown at a school in Bounds Green.

Officers raided Bounds Green School on Friday, December 9, after a tip off that a cannabis factory was hidden in the school building.

Large drug plants were seized and a man in his 40s has been arrested in connection with the discovery.

Governors and senior staff were told of the find, which happened in the afternoon after pupils had left, but parents have not yet been told.

However, rumours have been circulating among parents and the news has filtered out.

The arrested man was question by detectives and released on police bail until February next year.
