Inside the address, police found a cannabis grow which included numerous plants.

They also found that the electrics had been bypassed to provide lighting.

A spokesperson for West Yorkshire Police issued the following warning: "These scenes were very dangerous (as they often are when the electrics are bypassed).

"It is important that local communities continue to report such matters so we can attend and secure the premises, and ensure that buildings are made safe again – and are no longer a fire risk."
