OFFICERS have closed down a cannabis factory in Catford.
Lewisham's Crime Task Force searched the premises at Ardgowan Road on Monday at 11.30am.
The police discovered around 1,000 cannabis plants and hydroponics equipment.
A man has been arrested but no details have yet been disclosed.
Priority Crime Task Force head, Detective Inspector Andy Wilkins, said: "Lewisham police will continue to close down factories set up to produce, cultivate and distribute cannabis."
He added: "I hope the closure of any cannabis factory continues to send out a strong warning to others who may be involved in the production or selling of drugs. You will be caught and the drugs will be seized."
Anyone who has information about the production or selling of drugs in Lewisham should call 020 8284 5101.
