Comments (16)
POLICE have raided a cannabis factory in the New Forest.
More than 50 cannabis plants and other drugs production equipment were seized when police swooped on the premises near Fordingbridge this morning.
Eleven officers and one drugs sniffer dog took part in the raid. They uncovered sophisticated equipment used to grow cannabis at the industrial premises at Courtwood Farm in Sandleheath.
They are describing what they found as a medium-sized operation.
Two men were arrested on suspicion of being concerned in the production of cannabis and are currently in police custody. They are a 63-year-old man from Bournemouth and a 38-year-old man from Poole.

These dogs go through a lot of training to do what they do. Be it sniff for drugs or just general suspect capture
proceedure.
Give the dogs a break and some respect. After all they are just doing there job.
Probablly for longer hours them our 9-5 hours.
To the dogs its a hand for which they do get highly rewarded.
Also give our police officers a break too. They are over stretched as it is.

Very interesting that the first two comments criticise both the article and the reporter for mistakes, yet appear to be written by people who are barely literate themselves. Do you not have capital letters, apostrophes or full stops in Southampton any more. As for the spelling.....

This safer alternative is already widely available in every home - and called water.
However, going after cannabis factories would not be a priority in my book.

it would be better if they took with them "dogs trained in sniffing to locate drugs"
but that would be too hard for reporters to write one presumes.
whats a medium sized operation ? they even describe it as that wheres the description ?
