Police discovered a 73-plant cannabis factory at a house in Heysham after residents told officers that they suspected drugs were being sold from the address.
A drugs warrant was executed at the property in Bowland Road by operational support unit officers at 6.40pm on Sunday.
Two of the property’s three bedrooms had been converted into a cannabis cultivation set up. Officers seized 73 cannabis plants and a quantity of harvested and prepared cannabis bush, along with a small quantity of suspected amphetamine.
A 44-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of cultivating a class B drug (cannabis), possessing a class B drug (amphetamine), abstracting electricity and distributing an indecent image.
A police spokesperson said: "Residents had concerns about what was going on at the address and we have acted on those concerns.
"Drug dealing can lead to a whole range of anti-social behaviour and other criminal activities, all of which can make residents’ lives a misery.
"It will not be tolerated in our communities and we will work together with residents to combat these problems.”
