CANNABIS plants with a street value running into tens of thousands of pounds were seized during police raids.
Officers arrested three people following the raid on a house in Jesmond Road, Darlington, on Wednesday.
More than 100 plants were discovered at the bungalow, in various states of production.
Plants were found in the bedroom, the shower room, the toilet, and an upstairs room.
Some were found drying out in the shower room, while dozens more were found in various states of growth. Sophisticated growing equipment was also found.
Sergeant Mo Perwaze said: "The raid, on privately rented property, came after information was supplied about drug production."
A 24-year-old woman was arrested but later released with no further action taken.
A 27 and 29-year-old, both males, were arrested and later released pending further enquiries.
