More than 600 high-strength cannabis plants have been seized by police during a raid on a drugs factory in a quiet Barons Court street last week.
Plants, with a street value of anything up to £500,000, hi-tech lighting, watering and refrigeration equipment used to grow plants hydroponically were removed from the house.
Acting on a tip-off, police officers from Hammersmith and Fulham led the late night raid on a house in Kinnoul Road, a normally peaceful residential street where houses cost an average of £450,000.
No arrests were made and detectives are working to establish who owns the house.
Officers believes the seizure will be a blow to local drug dealers, especially as the equipment used to speed up the plants' growth can be expensive and hard to source.
Detective Constable Gareth Rees said the drugs factory was well organised and equipped.
"It was a substantial seizure and will disrupt that part of the criminal fraternity who have been growing the plants in Fulham.
"Plants were taken in various stages of growth so at this stage it is hard to say exactly how much their street value would have been. This was a great result for the SNT."
