A 16-year-old has been charged after police uncovered a cannabis factory in Mitcham.

The farm was found at a house in Chestnut Grove on Friday, following a raid just after 7.15am.

The teenager, who can not be named for legal reasons, was arrested on suspicion of cultivating cannabis and abstracting electricity.

He is set to appear in court at a later date.
