Three men were arrested and a cannabis grow was discovered after concerned residents raised the alarm.
Police were called to an address in Clumber Street, Warsop, at around 2pm on Tuesday when suspects were reported to be loading bags into a van.
A search was carried out and a suspect detained after running from the building.
Inside, officers found dozens of plants and evidence of a recently cultivated grow.
A car was later pulled over in Dundee Drive, Mansfield Woodhouse, and two further suspects were held.
Three men, aged 47, 36 and 20 were arrested on suspicion of cannabis cultivation.
The 36-year-old man was also held on suspicion of driving without a licence and driving without insurance.
All three men were later released on police bail.
Inspector Kylie Davies, district commander for Mansfield, said:
“The illegal production of cannabis and the associated crime that goes with it is a blight on our communities.
“That’s why we carry out regular proactive raids on suspected grows, and why we will always respond quickly to reports of this nature.”
Anyone with additional information about this address is asked to call police on 101 quoting incident 449 of 3 October 2023.
