Police have uncovered a sophisticated drug operation that was being carried in a 1million pounds country mansion that looks like something out of 'Downton Abbey.'
After raiding Wendreda House near March, Cambs, police found more than 1,000 plants and three huge water tanks on the ground floor fed into seven growing rooms along with a maze of air filtration systems, electric leads and lights, the Daily Star reported.
Det Insp David Murphy said that this place looks like something in 'Downton Abbey,' not a highly professional cannabis factory."
Cops, who went in after a tip-off about the pungent smell coming from the building, found fashion magazines piled on a coffee table, chandeliers and oak flooring.
Murphy added that it was obviously once a much-loved and cared-for family home and how it got like this they don't know.
