A massive cannabis farm with a yearly yield of £1.6 million was discovered at a home in Garston, police said.
The enormous farm had 369 cannabis plants spread across four rooms, along with growing equipment.
Officers uncovered the farm at about 11.300am on Thursday morning inside a property on Clarendon Road, and have launched an investigation.
Cannabis dismantling team manager Matt Brown said those involved in the growing of cannabis "do not care about communities" and "think nothing about setting up potentially dangerous farms on residential streets".
No arrests were made, but forensic and witness enquiries are ongoing in the area, police said.
The estimated annual yield from the cannabis farm would have been a staggering £1.6 million.
Mr Brown said: “An investigation is underway following the discovery of this farm and thankfully, this cannabis has now been seized and prevented from reaching our communities.
"Criminal groups involved in the growing of cannabis do not care about those communities.
"They think nothing of setting up potentially dangerous farms on residential streets, and are often involved in violence and other serious organised crime to try to protect their illicit trade.
“They will use any property they can to grow cannabis farms of various sizes - if you believe someone is using a property for the purpose of growing cannabis, I would encourage you to report it so we can take action.
"There is no place in our communities for criminal gangs that think setting up cannabis farms close to places we live, work and visit is acceptable.”
