Farming equipment seized during drug raids is now being used by children to grow fruit and vegetables.
Hydroponics sets and UV lights taken from cannabis farms would normally be destroyed.
But Merseyside police have donated the expensive equipment to the Dig It youth project in Bromborough, Wirral.
Youngsters grow produce, which is sold at a farmers' market. Insp Andy McKeown said there was no risk of children growing cannabis. He added: 'They don't grow anything more dangerous than chillies.'

I think this is kinda good, Not they whole getting raided part but that they are donating the equipment to needy people who will use it for good rather than for illegal use or worse destroying it so no-one can use it. With the amount of raid they do a week they should have all of those place filled with hydroponics by now!
