A LARGE stash of cannabis plants has been discovered in a layby near Barnstaple.

Police were called about the discarded drug last night by a member of the public and were told it was in a layby on Acland Road in Landkey.

But when PCSO Daniel Rolfe went to the scene this afternoon he discovered it was simply a pile of stalks.

He said: "When it is just stalks we can't take it any further as we can't get any leads on who is might belong to and it has no actual value.
