In the raid on Thursday at the Northdown Road address - which detectives have dubbed a "concealed cultivation site" - they also discovered a quantity of cannabis and equipment used to grow the drug.

Sgt Sean Scarsbrook said: "The sale of this cannabis would have benefited criminals.

"I am pleased our officers have uncovered the site and seized these illegal drugs."

Police investigations into the site are ongoing.

They are urging anyone who believes drugs are being grown, manufactured or sold in their area to contact them on 101, or calling 999 if a crime is in progress.
