A cannabis factory has been discovered on Finchley Road after bailiffs forced entry into a disused restaurant.
The premises, on 299 Finchley Road, was previously a Nigerian restaurant called Faaji which closed down in December.
Bailiffs were called this morning to reclaim the premises after the landlord failed to receive rental payments.
Bailiff, Jim Dorman, said: “We came to the front door this morning and could not get in so we went round the back.
“When we went in I noticed the smell and then saw the plants. There must be over 100.”
The police have been informed and are investigating the incident.
