The force says more than 180 cannabis plants were found.

They were taken from a number of rooms, along with cultivation equipment and other items.

An investigation into the site is continuing and officers are carrying out inquiries to trace those who set up the operation.

Insp Paul Barrell, of Dover Community Safety Unit, said: "The money made from the sale of these illegal drugs would have ended up in criminal hands, leading to knock-on crime and anti-social behaviour in our community.

"I am pleased these plants have been removed from circulation and our officers will continue to work to track down those behind the site."

Police say anyone with concerns that drugs might be being produced or sold in their area should contact them through their website, or call 101, If a crime is in progress, dial 999.
