South Yorkshire Police found 94 plants growing at a property in Strauss Crescent, Maltby

Officers have seized nearly 100 cannabis plants after raiding a house in Rotherham.

South Yorkshire Police said 94 plants were found at a property in Strauss Crescent, Maltby, on Thursday.

Insp Rebecca Deraz said it was an intelligence-led operation and urged people to be on the lookout for signs a property is being used to grow drugs.

"Some people may think cannabis is a harmless drug, but it is often linked to organised crime," she added.
