Adelaide cops stumble upon cannabis crop

A man has been charged after police officers called to a house fire in western Adelaide stumbled upon a cannabis crop.

Police and firefighters were called to reports of smoke coming out of the roof of the house on Bernard Street, Findon, about 6.45pm on Monday.

When they went in they found a small cannabis "grow room" inside the home.

Police said the fire is believed to have been accidental and linked to the cannabis crop.

A 33-year-old Athol Park has been charged with cultivating cannabis and possessing prescribed equipment, and is due to appear in the Port Adelaide Magistrates Court at a later date.
