    A suspected cannabis farm was found after a house fire in Keighley.

    The blaze broke out in a property on Nashville Terrace shortly before 7am today, 23 May.

    A spokesperson from West Yorkshire Fire and Rescue Service said the fire was contained to the loft area of the house. The cause of the fire is still under investigation but it was believed to be an electrical fault.
