The Metropolitan Police have shut down a cannabis farm in a suburban Hendon house, seizing over 150 plants. Residents had raised concerns about drug dealing and the associated violence and anti-social behavior. This operation is part of a broader crackdown on 'cuckooing,' where criminals take over the homes of vulnerable people to produce and distribute drugs. In a related incident, more than 100 cannabis plants were found in an Essex home.
