Two men are to appear in court today after police found nearly 140 cannabis plants behind a fake wall.

During a raid at a house in Maidstone officers discovered rooms on three floors modified with ventilation, lighting and heating equipment for cannabis cultivation.

The search, carried out on Wednesday, resulted in 137 cannabis plants being seized - many of which were fully grown.
