Police investigations were continuing today into a suspected cannabis nursery.

More than 100 plants were removed from the loft of a house in St Matthews Road, Worthing, yesterday after a fire.

A man was arrested but no charges have been made.

Inspector Martin Pattenden of Worthing police said the plants would be tested to establish if they were cannabis.

He said: "If we decide to go ahead with a prosecution we will photograph the plants and we may keep some of them as evidence.

"After any prosecution, all the cannabis plants will be destroyed."
