A suspected drug grower tried to escape police in his pair of slippers after officers raided a cannabis factory in a sleepy village.

Cops swooped on a semi-detached house in Parsonage Drive in Cofton Hackett, Worcestershire, where they discovered 60 large plants worth up to £50,000.

Another 198 smaller plants measuring 10cm high, which could be worth £1,000 each in a few months, were also seized.

Dramatic photos taken during Wednesday’s raid show a man clambering out of a top window before jumping onto a neighbouring roof.

The suspect, wearing a tracksuit and grey slippers, was quickly arrested in a nearby garden.

Officers seized cannabis plants along with cultivation equipment and a sophisticated electrical system.

The raid took place after neighbours raised concerns about drugs and suspicious activity in the area.

A 19-year-old Albanian man was arrested on suspicion of cultivation of cannabis.

PC Rod Hartwright, of West Mercia Police, said: ‘The warrant shows we will not tolerate drugs within our community and will continue to act on information given to us about drugs.

‘Drugs have a negative impact on our communities and can lead to other localised criminality and the harm and exploitation of vulnerable people.’
