It was simple sense of smell that led police to find these plants in a cannabis raid.

The pungent odour led officers to a property in Deal where one person was arrested.

The Dover Community Policing Team then found these suspect plants in the garden.

It happened yesterday morning.

"Occupant was arrested which provided instant search powers locating a significant crop in the garden."
