This latest charge is the third in relation to this particular drug line. Last year, as part of this investigation, two men were charged with drug offences, and £20,000 in cash and £32,000 worth of cannabis seized.

Detective Constable Nema Behzadi, from Bedfordshire Police’s dedicated guns and gang team Boson, said: “We know from experience that the organised production of cannabis and drug supply is intrinsically linked to violence, exploitation and a host of other criminal acts, and we are working to crackdown on those involved in these crimes.

“We are taking positive steps in locating those responsible and apprehending those who are operating in our area.
