Officers from Bury St Edmunds Safer Neighbourhood Team carried out a warrant at an address in Ashwell Road, Bury St Edmunds at approximately 12.20pm yesterday, Thursday 18 March.
Upon entering, around 20 cannabis plants were located within and seized.
Further enquiries are still being carried out as the investigation continues.
Officers would urge local residents and businesses to be vigilant to suspicious activity and anyone with information about drug-related activity in their community should contact Suffolk police.
The signs to spot include a strong or sickly sweet smell in the air; buildings with windows constantly blocked off; high levels of heat and condensation and the constant buzz of ventilation. Such operations would most likely have people coming and going from an address at unsociable hours too
Anyone with any information or anyone who may have witnessed any suspicious behaviour should contact Suffolk police, quoting crime number: 37/13340/21
