Hartlepool Neighbourhood Team recovered a large cannabis farm this afternoon when they executed a drugs warrant at an address on Helmsley Street in the town.
A 26-year-old man was arrested at the property on suspicion of cultivating drug and taken to police custody.
NEDL attended to make the property safe, after dangerous electrics were found inside of the premises.
PC Jake Brown of Hartlepool Neighbourhood Team said: “This was an intelligence-led operation, acting upon information provided by the local community.”
Anyone with information on drugs activity in their neighbourhood is asked to call 101, or report anonymously to the charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
