A CITY CENTRE Road was sealed off as officers attend to a large cannabis farm discovery.

St Paul's Lane, Carlisle was cordoned off whilst police officers raided a suspected cannabis farm.

A spokesperson from Cumbria Police said: "We have attended a property in Lonsdale Street where officers have located a large cannabis grow within the premises."

"The grow is currently being dismantled so people are asked to avoid the area.

"All are currently in police custody."

A passer-by commented: "It stinks of weed.
