A man has been arrested after cannabis plants were found when police raided a house in Sheffield suspected of being used as a drug den.

South Yorkshire Police’s North East Sheffield neighbourhood policing team said officers carried out the raid on Tuesday, and found what they believed to be cannabis plants growing in three of the rooms inside the property in Fir Vale.

Police said that officers went into the house with a warrant issued under the misuse of drugs act. They added that they arrested a man inside the building.

Officers say a man was later charged with production of cannabis and has been remanded in custody until his case is heard at Sheffield Crown Court.
