A drugs gang found themselves in deep trouble after police discovered their cannabis farm hidden 10ft underneath a field.

Officers from Avon and Somerset Police found 130 blooming plants - worth £130,000 - by using a thermal image camera to identify heat patches under the soil in Shipham, Somerset.

Drug criminals had tapped into the mains supply of a nearby house to maintain the secret cannabis hoard, using trap doors in the earth to drop into the bunker.
