More than 250 cannabis plants were uncovered by SthRibblePolice during the raid in Leyland
A 32-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of drugs and immigration act offences.
Sergeant Paul Harrison said: “This is a significant find and we are committed to tackling large cannabis farms which often have strong links to organised crime and enable criminals to operate in our communities. “Some people may see cannabis cultivation as a minor offence but some of the dangers are often hidden, such as the risk of fires and use of electrics. Dismantling and targeting this activity will remain a priority of ours.”
Police said the raid was part of Operation Warrior – aimed at tackling serious and organised crime in Lancashire.
