A cannabis farm has been discovered after immigration officers carried out an early morning raid on a property on a major Doncaster road.

Police were called in after immigration enforcement officers discovered the stash of drug plants at an address on Balby Road earlier today.

A South Yorkshire Police spokesman said: “At around 7am on Tuesday 7 May, we were informed by Immigration Enforcement officers who were carrying out a warrant at Balby Road, that they had discovered a cannabis farm.

"169 plants were found at the property.

Police discovered the cannabis farm after a raid by immigration officers.

"No-one was found inside the property.”

The raid is the second major drugs bust in Doncaster in a matter of days.

Last week, a man was arrested after police found a huge drugs farm inside an industrial unit in Kirk Sandall.

Police seized more than £150,000 worth of cannabis plants on Thursday at the unit on Sandall Carr Road, with a 45-year-old man arrested at the scene.
