LFB Police are investigating a fire that virtually destroyed a house in north-east London believed to have been used as a cannabis factory. Twelve fire engines and about 80 firefighters were called to the mid-terraced property in Walthamstow shortly before 03:00 BST. The Met Police said officers also attended and found evidence of cannabis plants at the house on Knebworth Avenue, although no arrests were made.
