Five rooms full of cannabis plants at various stages of their growth cycle were discovered during a raid in Audenshaw.
Officers from the Tameside Neighbourhood Team executed the warrant on Manchester Road yesterday morning, with a subsequent search recovering the items.
In all, approximately 150 plants were recovered from the scene, along with numerous paraphernalia, growing equipment, and more.
A 59-year-old man was subsequently arrested on suspicion of cultivation of cannabis. He remains in custody for questioning.
The work comes as part of the team’s wider work in combating drug supply across the district.
Sergeant Stuart Charlesworth said: “We are committed to combating drugs supply in all its form across our district and I am happy with today’s positive result, which saw more than 150 plants seized.
“Drugs and the supply of them is a very serious matter and one which we dedicate numerous resources to tackling. Much of our intelligence comes from within communities themselves and I would urge anyone who has any concerns about suspicious behaviour to get in touch with their local neighbourhood team.”
