Hartlepool Neighbourhood Policing Team executed a drugs warrant in the town’s Kimberley Street just before 8am yesterday, May 13.
A 26-year-old man has been arrested on suspicion of a drugs offence, he remains in custody as enquiries continue.
After gaining access to the property police found a suspected cannabis farm with around 100 mature plants, spanning four rooms.
