A police spokesman said ‘As part of the operation four men were arrested on suspicion of conspiracy to produce cannabis, a class B drug.

‘Those arrested were; a 32-year-old man from Herefordshire, a 58-year-old man from Gwent, a 35-year-old man from Gloucester and a 22-year-old man from Gloucester.
