This is the huge cannabis farm found at a house in Gorton after police were called to reports of a balaclava-clad gang of men trying to kick the door in.
A machete and around 100 cannabis plants were seized from a terraced house on Rockhampton Street on Wednesday night.
Officers made the discovery after initially being called to reports of a disturbance.
One eyewitness, who lives on the street, said about seven men - all wearing balaclavas - showed up at about 11.45pm and started 'banging on the door' of the house.

They said the men ran off after a neighbour came out and phoned the police.
"The next thing the two guys have gone, the ones who lives there", they added.
A picture shows a boot mark on the front door where someone appears to have kicked at it.
A GMP spokesperson said no arrests have been made and an investigation is ongoing.
Police remained at the scene on Thursday morning.
The neighbour said the 'whole street stinks' as officers appear to be taking the cannabis plants from out of the house.
