A 74-year-old man has been arrested after a cannabis factory was found in his house.
Cannabis with a street value of £30,000 was found at the property in West Street, Bridlington.
A total of 53 plants, a quantity of herbal cannabis and cash were seized from the property after the raid by the Bridlington Neighbourhood Policing Team last Friday.
Police described the find as a "sophisticated cannabis factory" with the house divided into a nursery, growing room and drying room.
Sergeant Mark Skelton said the find in West Street was the second in Bridlington in just over a week. A previous raid discovered a plant in the town's Jubilee Avenue.
He said: "The warrant on West Street has prevented around 330,000 worth of cannabis going on sale. We will continue to take this stance against drug dealers.
"We will arrest and deal with those believed to be involved in the production. We will also destroy any growing equipment associated with producing cannabis and inform partner agencies including the housing department and social services."
