Over 1,100 plants were growing across multiple rooms of a property on Trafalgar Street, Lancashire Police said.

There was also evidence that the electricity had been bypassed and Electricity North West attended to ensure the area was safe.

A 29-year-old man from Burnley was arrested on Wednesday on suspicion of permitting a property to be used for supply of drugs before being released under investigation.
