TWO males were arrested after police found a huge cannabis farm, worth £150,000, in a Bradford property.
Over 300 plants were seized by officers who executed a warrant at the address on Hammerton Street, off Leeds Road in BD3, yesterday.
The males were arrested in connection to the organised criminal activity.

Once in the pitch-black property, a piece of carpet is removed to uncover a set of stairs that leads to what looks like a redundant basement.
A curtain is then stripped back to discover a huge well-lit fanned room filled with hundreds of cannabis plants.
Police also show an untidy kitchen and bedroom in the property.
