Four people arrested in connection with a drugs bust that triggered a large police presence in North Watford have been bailed.

Hertfordshire Constabulary were called to reports of suspicious activity at an address in Sheepcot Lane at around 4.10am on May 12 and made the arrests.

Later that day, a police spokesperson said: “Officers attended and found a large-scale cannabis factory inside the property, which is currently in the process of being cleared.”

They added that four people remained in police custody at the time.

Yesterday (May 15), the force confirmed that they had been bailed, but added that the value of the seized drugs is still not known. Officers are still investigating.
