Police raided a home in Sheffield yesterday, as part of which they searched what appeared be a normal kids room, complete with a nice Frozen poster on the wall.
However, on closer inspection, they managed to find something a lot less innocent hidden behind the poster: a small marijuana farm.
Let it go! Can't hold it back anymore.

Along with the image, Sheffield Police jokingly tweeted: "Let it go! Can't hold it back anymore. Sheffield Tasking Team Can't let this one go. False wall in child's bedroom hiding a Cannabis set up."
Adding: "Cannabis is a Class B drug - illegal to possess or grow it in any quantity, it is not for the police to question the laws just uphold them."
While the law is the law, some people on the social networking site didn't think the police should be going after small-time cannabis growers.
Old man growing medical cannabis, why not go after hard drugs - or do you make too much in bribes?

Looks more like personal than a farm..should be legal so we can free up the police for more important crimes.

A spokesman for South Yorkshire Police told The Star: "Three mature plants and five seedlings have been recovered and a 64-year-old man has been interviewed and reported on summons to court for production and cultivation of cannabis."
While the man arrested had a pretty stealthy weed set-up, it's nothing compared to what police found in Staffordshire.

Cops searched Brackenhurst Farm in Newchurch near Burton-on-Trent in March and found secret rooms hidden by hay bales, thousands of pounds in cash and hundreds of cannabis plants. Experts have said that the plants could have produced over 60kg worth of skunk a year, with a street value of almost half a million pounds.
