Police say a huge cannabis farm in a Swindon home was found by the electric company.
Officers were alerted to the drugs factory in Kingshill Road early on Thursday (9 July).
More than 150 cannabis plants were discovered by Scottish and Southern Electricity (SSE). Nobody was at the property on the arrival of police.
The property was cordoned off as the electricity and gas were made safe, and potential structural issues were assessed.
SSE workers were seen digging up a significant part of the outdoor area yesterday, shaded by an umbrella amid soaring temperatures.
Forensic investigation work is likely to be carried out over the next 24 hours, followed by the dismantling the grow house.
Wiltshire Police confirmed that they are to seek a closure order at Swindon Magistrates Court in due course to prevent access to the building for three months.
The investigation is ongoing.
