More than 500 cannabis plants were seized during a police raid on a north-eastern suburbs house last night.
About 8.30pm, Holden Hill police raided the house at Treweck Ave, Hillcrest, and a shed allegedly containing four separate grow rooms.
About 510 cannabis plants of varying maturity were seized. Police also allegedly found an esky containing about 15kg of dried cannabis and cash.
A 40-year-old man was arrested and charged with producing and possessing cannabis for sale and unlawful possession.
He also faces charges of theft of electricity, with police alleging the man bypassed an electricity meter to steal power for the grow rooms.
Police Confiscations Branch have also launched an investigation into the man's assets.
He was bailed to appear in the Holden Hill Magistrates Court at a later date.
