YESTERDAY'S discovery follows months of raids across the area.
In August 2014, police unearthed what they claimed was "the most elaborate" cannabis factory they had ever seen during a raid on a derelict bank in Grimsby.
As reported, teams raided the former Barclay's Bank in Cleethorpe Road and discovered a haul of more than 1,000 cannabis plants thought to be worth at least £579,000 and an extensive network of fans and lighting in most of the rooms in the building, including the vault.
Quy Van Le, 31, of no fixed address, admitted producing cannabis at the former bank on August 4 as well as a similar, smaller offence in Derbyshire in 2011, and was jailed for two years in December.
