Officers executed an early morning drugs warrant at the property on Thursday, April 16, and discovered in excess of 1,300 plants in various stages of growth spread across two floors of the building.
Sergeant Richard Cotton of the Dewsbury NPT, said: “Officers located a substantial cannabis factory on Bradford Road in Dewsbury on Sunday and we are continuing our enquiries this week.
“While a full calculation of the value of the cannabis seized is yet to be completed it will clearly be a six figure sum given the number of plants officers found.
“We would ask anyone who has any information about the cultivation or supply of drugs in Dewsbury to contact the Dewsbury NPT on 101 or the independent Crimestoppers charity anonymously on 0800 555 111.
“All information and intelligence is fully assessed and explored for investigative possibilities by officers.”
