A man has been arrested after two cannabis farms were discovered next door to each other by police responding to reports of a burglary.

Nottinghamshire Police said they were called to two homes in Fairholme Drive, Mansfield, at about 17.35 BST on Wednesday.

Officers found about 120 plants in one of the houses and a "significant amount" of cannabis buds in the other along with growing equipment.

A 45-year-old man was later arrested on suspicion of cultivating cannabis.

The force said a number of rooms at the homes had been prepared to grow cannabis and the electricity had been bypassed inside both houses.
