    More cannabis farms have been found in Harrogate than any other area, a Freedom of Information request has revealed.

    A teenager has been arrested after police seized about 500 cannabis plants from a house in Harrogate.

    North Yorkshire Police swooped on the property in Harlow Hill on Friday after being alerted by residents.

    They forced entry and seized the plants and other items linked to drug production.

    Officers from Expedite, a police team that tackles county lines drug dealing, and the Harrogate Safer Neighbourhood Team, were involved in the operation.

    The 18-year-old suspect was arrested on suspicion of drug offences and remanded in custody.

    He appeared in front of magistrates the next day and is due to appear in front of a judge at York Crown Court next month.

    A North Yorkshire Police spokesman said:

    "Information supplied by the community is just one of many ways we’re ensuring North Yorkshire stays the safest county in England.
    "But it’s a vital source of information for any police force.
    "If you have concerns about drug activity in your community, tell us by visiting our website and clicking ‘report it’, or call us on 101.
    "You can also share information anonymously with the charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111."
