In total, 3325 plants were recovered, with an estimated street value of £5 million, Greater Manchester Police said. No arrests have been made and enquiries are ongoing.
Inspector Amreek Singh, from GMP’s Stockport district, said: “This is a great find for our neighbourhood team who are committed to tackling the supply and distribution of illegal products throughout the town.
"Cannabis farms on this scale can be linked to serious and organised crime gangs, and the drugs they sell have a significant adverse impact on our communities. It drives violence and can lead to vulnerable people being exploited, as well as leading to numerous problems such as addiction and health issues. Our work has ensured that thousands of cannabis plants will not be hitting the streets"
“If you have any information about drugs supply in your area, please do get in touch with your local officers. You can also contact police on 101, via gmp.police.uk, or via Crimestoppers, anonymously on 0800 555 111."
