A cannabis farm has been discovered inside a Dundee industrial unit.
Police have been guarding the site at Wester Gourdie Industrial Estate on Nobel Road since 11am on Wednesday.
It is claimed a workman found the cannabis farm when he entered the building before alerting police.
Several police cars and vans have been parked outside the unit along with a police “emergency equipment” vehicle.
Officers from CID have also been at the scene, while two skips were delivered to the site on Thursday afternoon.
A source told The Courier: “A workie went to the unit yesterday and discovered the cultivation.
“It was apparently substantial, and they called the cops.”
One man who works nearby said: “It was mental, the place was hoaching with police (on Wednesday).
