A CANNABIS cultivation has been found in Pitsea.
Officers from Basildon's Community Policing Team executed a warrant under the Misuse of Drugs Act yesterday afternoon.
A spokesman for the team said: "We were happy with our little find however we had to take extra precaution as we discovered that the electricity had been bypassed.
"Feeling in a good mood, we even cleaned up the mess from the soil and plant before we left."
A man has been reported for cultivation of cannabis and abstracting electricity in connection with the incident.
Anyone with concerns about drug cultivation in the Basildon area can call police on 101 or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555111.
