The total value is estimated to exceed £1 million. The electricity was illegally bypassed and a second electricity source had been attached to the mains line. Both were identified as being incredibly risky and dangerous by electrical experts.

The plants were seized and enquiries remain ongoing in to the offences relating to the drugs and the abstraction of electricity.

Sergeant Kerry Feathers of the Bradford South Neighbourhood Policing Team added: "We would like to thank those who provide us with intelligence in order to take action against organised criminals and to safeguard victims and those who are adversely affected by these offences. #
