SHOCKING footage shows the moment police raided a cannabis factory containing more than 1,000 plants.

Police busted a drugs den at a Southampton warehouse equipped with a fully stocked kitchen and a gym.

In the video, filmed by an onlooker, officers can be heard shouting 'Stay where you are' to a man running along the roof top.

They then grab a ladder to climb on the roof and chase the man.
