A CANNABIS farm with more than 150 plants was discovered in a house.
Officers raided a house in Pritchard Street, Burnley, at 1am, after initial reports suggested a man was trying to break into the roof of a house.
A police spokesman said officers attended and discovered a cannabis farm inside the house.
There were 47 plants that had already been harvested, 32 ready for harvesting and 77 infant plants in the loft.
The police spokesman said: "This Cannabis farm has now been destroyed.
"Our communities consistently tell us they don’t want this happening in their area.
"Cannabis Farms can be major fire hazards and are often looked after by vulnerable people who are paid a pittance and live in awful conditions.
"If you want to know the tell-tale signs and how to spot them please have a look at our website.
"If you have any information surrounding Cannabis Farms in your area please contact 101 and quote log 0044 of May 4."
