MORE than 2,000 suspected cannabis plants and £30,000 in cash were seized in a crackdown on organised crime.
Police launched dawn raids at nine properties in Heckmondwike and Batley yesterday.
Growing equipment and three cars valued at more than £75,000 were also seized under the Proceeds of Crime Act. Two men aged 44 and 48 and a 39-year-old woman were arrested on suspicion of cannabis production and money laundering.
Det Insp Pete Darbyshire, of West Yorkshire Police organ-ised crime group is leading the investigation. He said: “Enforcement is necessary to frustrate and disrupt organised criminality. The closure of criminal enterprises goes a long way in preventing harm to communities through misuse of cannabis.”
