PLANTS at a cannabis farm were just being cropped ready to sell when police arrived.
West Yorkshire Police rushed to a property in Hollybank Gardens, Bradford just before 5.30pm on Friday after receiving intelligence from the community regarding a potential cannabis grow.
Officers took the terraced house's door off its hinges and discovered approximately 100 plants within the building.
The force has now revealed that the cannabis plants were in the process of being cropped ready to be sold on the streets.
A spokesperson for West Yorkshire Police said on Friday: "This evening officer's from Bradford South NPT have located over 100 large cannabis plants at an address in the Great Horton area of Bradford.
"The plants were just in the process of being cropped ready to be sold on the streets. Not this time."
Northern Power Grid also attended to ensure the electrics were safe.
Police put a scene in place and two force cars, as well as multiple officers, remained there on Saturday.
The Telegraph & Argus visited the scene just after 2pm yesterday and saw police officers inside the building, focusing on the front room.
There were also two full black bin bags in view in the small entrance to the house, where the door had been removed.
A witness told The T&A that it is normally a "quiet street".
Police are continuing to investigate the cannabis farm and have issued an appeal for information.
Anyone who can help should contact police on 101, or via the contact options on the West Yorkshire Police website.
