A morning raid at an address in Doncaster saw officers seize drugs, an offensive weapon and thousands of pounds worth of unaccounted for cash and luxury items, with two people arrested at the scene.
After gathering intelligence regarding activities at a property in the Warmsworth area of the city, Doncaster South neighbourhood policing officers executed a warrant under Section 23 of the Misuse of Drugs Act.
On searching the address, a cannabis set-up, totalling 88 plants in various stages of growth, was discovered along with a police baton, which was found in a car parked outside the property, and empty snappy bags.
Officers also found a significant amount of money and luxury property in the address, including £40,000 worth of watches, with all these items seized for further analysis.
A 40-year-old man and a 36-year-old woman were arrested on suspicion of production of a controlled Class B drug, with the man also arrested on suspicion of possession of an offensive weapon.
Doncaster South NPT Sergeant Chris Rogers said:
"Cannabis cultivations are often linked to the activities of organised crime groups and wider criminal networks.
"It's not a victimless drug and the supply of it feeds violence and intimidation on our streets, which in turn creates fear and divide in our communities.
"We will continue shutting down these cannabis factories in order to make our streets and neighbourhoods safer and I would urge anyone with concerns about criminal activity in their area to please report it to us so we can take action."
