A cannabis farm worth an estimated £48,000 was seized by police during a raid this week.

Cleveland Police officers attended an address on Ryhill Walk on North Ormesby yesterday (January 9), and removed the 57 plants from the home.

According to officers, the electricity in the home was bypassed - but was resolved by the board following the raid.
