Crop house located in Malvern East

Detectives from the Prahran Divisional Response Unit have located a large amount of cannabis in Malvern East as part of an ongoing operation.

The cannabis crop was located after an anonymous community tip-off alerted investigators to suspicious activity at the residence.

A warrant was executed at a James Parade property around 10am on 9 June.

No one was home at the time and no arrests have been made at this stage.

Police seized 178 cannabis plants as part of a hydroponic set up worth approximately $260,000.
