"Offender(s) had conducted dangerous alterations to the electrics inside the property, which posed a fire hazard. All plants and equipment were seized and have been sent for destruction.

"Enquiries are ongoing.

"Aside from the illegalities of cannabis, offender(s) posed a serious risk to persons in the community should their electrical 'alterations' have caused a fire.

"The property has since been made safe."
