An emaciated dog has found in a cannabis factory in Fulham.

Neighbours living in William Morris Way called police on February 17 after hearing cries coming from the flat and could not be sure if the noise was coming from a human or animal.

Officers from Hammersmith and Fulham police team entered the building at around 9.30pm and found it being used for the cultivation of drugs.

Class A drugs were also found at the property and one man was arrested.

Police say the dog was thin and had cuts on its body. He is now making a good recovery with the RSPCA.

Police investigations are ongoing and man arrested has been bailed to return to police in April.

Police were called to the property by neighbours who could hear cries

It is the second time in less than a week a dog has been found at a cannabis factory.

London Fire Brigade (LFB) were called to Nightingale Road in Harlesden at 6.12am where the property was alight on February 19.

The blaze tore through the ground floor, but LFB said all people in the property have now been accounted for and had left the home before they arrived.

But firefighters did rescue a puppy, now nicknamed "Smokey" which was trapped inside the house while it was alight.

Speaking in relation to the Nightingale Road incident, Simon Tuhill, the Brigade’s Borough Commander for Brent, said: “Thankfully Smokey the puppy was not seriously injured in this fire after a neighbour raised the alarm.

“It appears the fire had been going for some time before the alarm was raised and crews faced very difficult conditions when they forced entry into the property.

"Cannabis factory fires can be very severe because of the way criminals use unsafe wiring to illegally obtain electricity in order to grow the plants.

“Fires at cannabis factories are also extremely dangerous to crews because of bad wiring and booby traps at some of the properties. Despite being faced with dangerous and difficult conditions, crews did exceptionally well in bringing the fire under control."
