Officers descended on Kent Street, off Ashton Road in Oldham, at around 10am yesterday. The Manchester Evening News understands the building was just off Kent Street, which backed onto an area of land accessed from Schofield Street.
Pictures from the scene showed dozens of plants being brought out of the property by Greater Manchester Police, with officers later confirming that between 50-70 plants had been found inside.
