A huge £1million cannabis farm has been discovered by police in Bury town centre.
Police raided a property on Silver Street after initially being called to reports of a flood.
They found five rooms and a loft space being used to grow the class-B drug during the search on Monday.
Around 1,000 cannabis plants, which would be worth around £1million at street value, were discovered.
They have since been destroyed.
Officers said they believe that people were living inside the property as they found two beds.
No arrests have been made and enquiries are ongoing.
Anyone with information is now being urged to get in touch with police.
Chief Inspector Jamie Collins of GMP's Bury district, said: "Thankfully over the past couple of days, alongside partners, we've been able to uncover and dismantle a fairly substantial cannabis farm within Bury town centre.
"The removal of this quantity of cannabis from the supply chain is another positive step forward in helping to disrupt the activity of organised criminals who seek to profit from the sale of drugs.
"Whilst no arrests have been made at this stage, we are working to identify those responsible and I would urge anyone with information that could assist our investigation to get in touch with police as soon as possible.
"Any information, no matter how small, could prove vital to our enquiries and will be treated with the utmost seriousness."
"Additionally, we often rely on intelligence provided by the public to help us identify similar activity taking place across the area. If you have information or suspect suspicious behaviour in your area please get in touch with police."
