Only one accessible source for this event was found; its account reproduces a Bolton Police statement and no police statement page or second outlet could be opened.
The article gives no weight for the plants, no street value for the drug and no detail of how the grow was set up.
The property is described only as an address on Stonesteads Way; it is not stated whether it was a house, flat or other building.
No charge, court date or outcome beyond release on bail was reported.
The £25,000 is money police recovered from the property, not an estimated value of the cannabis, so it is recorded as a seized money value rather than a drug valuation.
The two photos are GMP handout images in the page's gallery; the police dog photo's caption does not state whether it was the dog that located the grow at this address.
The Manchester Evening News gives 4 November 2026 as the day of the search; the article does not say when the police photos were released.
