Police said they found 530 cannabis plants when raiding the property

Hundreds of cannabis plants worth more than half a million pounds have been seized after a raid on a house.

Nottinghamshire Police said they entered the property in Upton at about 08:40 GMT on Wednesday, where they found 530 plants, worth an estimated £525,000, across seven rooms.

Mains electricity had also been "dangerously bypassed" as part of the growing operation, a statement said.

The force said the plants would now be destroyed.
