POLICE uncovered a cannabis grow and an illegal electricity connection after executing a warrant at a property in Ashton-under-Lyne.
Officers carried out the raid at an address on Whitelands Road, where a number of cannabis plants were discovered.
A spokesperson from Greater Manchester Police said the plants were seized and taken to a police station, where they will be destroyed.
The borough’s A Relief Neighbourhood Policing Team also found evidence of electricity abstraction – where power is illegally diverted or bypassed, a practice often linked to cannabis cultivation and considered highly dangerous due to fire risks.
The force said the warrant forms part of ongoing efforts to tackle drug-related crime and anti-social behaviour across Tameside.
Anyone with concerns about suspected drug activity in their area is encouraged to report it to police.
