UP to 60 cannabis plants were found at a surprise cannabis grow in a home on a busy residential street in Worcester.
Officers went to a terraced house on Wyld's Lane, in Worcester for another matter and discovered a cannabis grow inside, quickly sealing off the address as a crime scene.
Inside the home, 20 to 30 plants were found growing in a cellar, a further 10 were found growing in a bedroom and another 15-20 were found growing in the attic on Friday (September 8).
Despite the discovery, no arrests have been made as of yet but officers are still investigating.

At one stage three police vehicles, including a crime scene investigation unit, were at the scene while drivers on the main road slowed down for a better look.
A spokesperson for West Mercia Police said officers remained at the scene to clean up the plants and equipment.
"No arrests have been made and investigations are ongoing."
Throughout the morning officers and workers from the National Grid could be seen coming and going from the property as the electricity supply had to be disconnected.
Police taped off the doorway and an alleyway at the side of the property to create a cordon and they also spoke with a neighbour so they could gain access to the next-door property as part of their ongoing investigation.

Meanwhile, scenes of crime officers (SOCOs) later arrived as part of a Crime Scene Investigation unit, donning forensic gloves before they entered the house.
One SOCO took several pictures inside and outside the property and also brought forensic tools into the address. At one stage he emerged carrying a can of Carling as evidence was seized for analysis.
The Worcester News understands nobody was at the property at the time officers arrived.
Evidence bags for cash were also requested as officers searched the home.
