Cannabis factory awareness

Organized crime gangs target private houses and other buildings advertised for letting purposes. 'Clients' may offer to pay many months' rent in advance in cash as well as a cash deposit.  Private houses are then converted into cannabis factories.  Heating, lighting, ventilation and hydroponic equipment are brought into the premises and very often structural damage is caused to the building in order to vent away heat and fumes.
