As a result of the search Police located and seized the following:

23 cannabis plants being grown in a clandestine hydroponics grow room,

A hydroponics system, including pots, heat lights, transformers, timers, pumps, fans, ducting, reflective tarps, metal supports, reticulation pipes/fittings and a large quantity of nutrients and fertilisers.
