The Operation Expedite team have dismantled a large cannabis grow and seized thousands of pounds worth of equipment.
The team executed a Misuse of Drugs Act warrant at a property on Spring Bank yesterday afternoon.
After forcing entry, they discovered the property had been converted into a sophisticated cannabis grow with three upstairs rooms used to grow a significant number of plants that would be worth thousands of pounds.
No suspects were found in the property and the plants appeared to be in the process of dying having not been watered for several days.

High-value growing equipment such as lights, filters and transformers were also seized.
No arrests have been made at this stage and investigations are ongoing.
Anyone with information is urged to contact North Yorkshire Police on 101, select option 2, and ask for Op Expedite.
Information can also be passed to Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 55511
