Naturally, the police were informed but, not said family member, as this had already been passed to them from previous call outs. Following week another outage resulting in approx 400 homes losing their power for several hours. What damage to their homes and freezer food etc?
Three days ago it happened again only this time a high density total PCB was destroyed, again by said cannabis farm. This was again fed back to SYP. Their response? 'Yes we have it on record it is on file and we'll get to it when we have the manpower to spare'.
Apparently, NP come across 3-5 of these farms a week! Absolutely outstanding that these 's.hit' farms can't be shut down as they cause so much misery and pain down the chain.
The blame for non tackling of this issue surely has to lay at this Tory governments door! Demand for the drug, burglary, theft, shop lifting all feed this sad habit. On this issue I feel for SYP for not being able to deal with and shut the foul industry down.
