Man who jumped out of window to evade police is charged after cannabis factory discovered in Milton Keynes

A man was arrested and subsequently charged after Thames Valley Police discovered a cannabis factory in Netherfield on Saturday (May 8).

The man was spotted jumping out of a window to evade arrest at the factory. Officers caught up to him at a location nearby and arrested the man on site.

Following an investigation from Milton Keynes CID, the man has been charged and remanded to court.

The arrest was made after police officers received a tip off from local residents who had raised concerns about the goings on at the property.

Just last month, police discovered a cannabis factory at the former Travis Perkins depot at Bletchley's Simpson Road in Fenny Stratford. That factory was considered to contain the biggest amount of cannabis ever discovered in one go in Milton Keynes, with reports suggesting a million pounds worth of the illegal substance was discovered and destroyed.
