The plants were seized following a weekend raid.

Officers in Tameside discovered the cannabis farm shortly after 7am on April 13th at an address on Stockport Road, Mossley.

Multiple other drug paraphernalia, including growing equipment, was also discovered.

The illicit goods were all subsequently seized.

The electricity at the address was discovered to have been bypassed with sparks seen coming off them as they were made safe.

Inspector Rachel Eaton, from GMP's Tameside district said: "Cracking down on drugs supply across our district is a key aim of out local neighbourhood teams, and we are committed to removing these illicit products off our streets and punishing those responsible.

"This was a great find for the local team and I know that there will be plenty more positive results in the coming weeks and months.

"A lot of our work is dependent on the intelligence we get from our communities, and I would urge anyone with any relevant information to get in touch with us."

Enquiries are currently ongoing as part of the investigation into the findings.
