A cannabis farm - thought to be worth around £1 million - has been shut down by police in West Yorkshire.
Officers raided a disused commercial property in Ravensthorpe, where more than 1,500 plants were found and removed.
Sergeant Stuart Clarke of the Dewsbury and Mirfield NPT, said: “ This has clearly been a very large scale seizure of cannabis and has come about as a result of community intelligence which has been developed by our officers.
“This seizure, combined with the closure of a cannabis factory at another unit in this area recently, will have taken a substantial amount of potential profit out of the hands of organised criminals."
It followed a raid on a nearby commercial property, in which 100 cannabis plants and a range of stolen car parts were discovered.
