A man has been arrested after officers raided a property following reports of a suspected unlicensed tattoo parlour.

Police seized equipment used to create tattoos and – after a further search of the property in Shamrock Road, Gravesend, last Thursday – found a hydroponics factory. They seized cannabis plants believed to be worth £6,000.

A 21-year-old man from Shamrock Road was arrested later the same day on suspicion of assault. He has been bailed until July 19 pending further inquiries.

The warrant was executed in a joint operation between Gravesham council’s Trading Standards’ team and Kent Police.
