Police have arrested two people after multiple shots were heard in St Leonards, which led to the discovery of cannabis plants at a property in the town. Officers said the alarm was raised late on Wednesday night (November, 20) when a local resident reported hearing two loud bangs in the area of Sedlescombe Road North and Hoe Road around 11.15pm. Further suspicious activity then prompted contact with the police and armed officers entered a house in Sedlescombe Road North shortly after 2.30am. Police said inside, they found evidence of cannabis cultivation, including a number of full-grown cannabis plants. Shortly afterwards, a 28-year-old man from St Leonards and a 21-year-old woman from Hastings were both arrested on suspicion of being concerned in the production of a controlled drug of Class B. DI Gavin Patch said: "We are trying to establish the circumstances of what happened at the address in the time leading up to the arrests and would like to hear from anyone who saw or heard anything suspicious in the area. "In particular, we want to find out about anyone seen in the area, whether on foot or in a car, who was seen outside the house and especially, who may have been seen damaging the front door of the property. "We do not believe that this was a random attack and that the parties involved are very likely known to each other." The two suspects have been released under investigation, according to police. Anyone with information is asked to call 101, quoting Operation Toucan.
