Officers from the Colchester Community Policing team acted on information they had received and raided the home early on Friday morning.

They discovered the farm inside.

Two people at the property were arrested.

A spokesman for Colchester police said: "Officers from the community policing team started the day with a briefing at the police station before travelling to Wivenhoe and giving someone an early morning door knock.

"We found they had their very own cannabis farm at the property with more than 50 plants growing.

"The plants have all been recovered and two occupants arrested at the address.

"We said at the beginning of the week we would be knocking on someone else's door soon.

"Keep reporting anything you think is suspicious and we will keep calling round at these properties."
