Police revealed the electricity had also been bypassed, posing a serious fire risk to neighbouring properties.


The plants were seized by officers and have since been destroyed, with the property boarded up and the electricity made safe to prevent any further risk to neighbours.
Sergeant Steve Roberts, of Doncaster Central Neighbourhood Policing Team, said: "We'd received multiple reports from concerned neighbours regarding activities at the address, and after collating evidence and information we were able to obtain a warrant to search the property.

"They exploit vulnerable people to look after these grows and by cutting out their supply chains, we are able to massively disrupt their operations and influence.
"If you see suspicious activity at a property, please make sure you report it to us so we can act on your concerns and shut down more of these cannabis farms as there is no place for them in Doncaster.”
