POLICE officers felt the heat as they weeded out a cannabis factory.
Officers from Brockley safer neighbourhood team raided the drug den in Malpas Road, Brockley, after noticing "enormous" amounts of heat coming from the property.
Around 400 cannabis plants were seized and the factory was closed down following the raid on April 7.
Safer neighbourhood sergeant Ty Taylor says the raid represents a "significant blow" to drug pushers.
He added: "The seizure will undoubtedly have an impact on people supplying and selling drugs in our communities."
A 16-year-old has been arrested and bailed to appear at Lewisham police station on May 7.
