They were found in the Grand Bingo & Social Club on Camphill Road.

Yesterday (Tuesday 11 June) at just after 4 am, officers were called to a report of four males trying to force entry to the derelict Grand Bingo & Social Club on Camphill Road in Nuneaton.

The lock was reportedly snapped on the front door to the building.

Two males who allegedly attempted to escape on foot were arrested.

When officers inspected the property they found a cannabis grow in progress inside the address, with around 112 plants in total in two rooms.

Also reportedly discovered inside the property were a cutlass-style sword, a large hatchet, a tomahawk, several meat cleavers, a 10-inch “zombie knife”, a six-inch kitchen knife, and three crowbars.

Warwickshire Police, said: "The males discovered are not believed to be directly associated with the grow, instead trying to gain access allegedly to disrupt or steal from the operation.

"Following this, one 19-year-old and one 24-year-old, both from Coventry, have been arrested on suspicion of burglary (non-dwelling) and going equipped."

PC 2103 Smith said “The discovery of a full house at a cannabis grow means that we can be certain our action has hit the gangs that operate these grows right in their pockets.”
