In a brief post on Thames Valley Police Milton Keynes’ Facebook page, it was revealed that ‘the residents have by-passed the electrics at the property and this shows how dangerous this can be.’

The raid comes just two days after another property in Milton Keynes was raided for similar offences, as on January 30, a ‘cannabis set up’ was discovered in a property in Oldbrook.
