£1m cannabis 'nursery' discovered in Rotherham home
Over 1,000 plants were found inside a house during a raid
Over £1m worth of cannabis has been taken off the streets of Rotherham, after a series of raids last week.
Police targeted several properties on Deepdale Road on Wednesday (August 27), with 1,000 plants being found inside one home.
Growing equipment was found inside with the electricity bypassed.
A 31 year old man was arrested at a second address on suspicion of immigration offences.
Inspector John Crapper, of South Yorkshire Police, said: "These warrants uncovered a suspected 'nursery' for cannabis plants."
"The number of seedlings within the property meant that there would not have been enough room to grow them all making it likely that the criminals behind this enterprise were planning on moving them to other addresses around our area.
"The estimated street value of this grow was over £1 million."
