POLICE uncovered a makeshift drugs farm.
Officers were called to the house, in Matching Green, #Basildon, following reports of a strong smell of cannabis.
They raided the home, where they found a set-up of hydroponic equipment, including powerful lighting used to help grow the drug.
Officers seized 30 plants, which were later destroyed.
Police have not arrested anyone in connection with the drugs yet.
Insp Scott Cannon, of Pitsea police, said: “We will always act swiftly when we are made aware of drugs cultivation.
“We encourage members of the community to tell us when they think this may be going on in their area.
“Thanks to the action of my officers, these drugs won’t be hitting the streets of Pitsea.”
The drugs were discovered at about 3.15pm on Wednesday.
