Officers discovered approximately 140 cannabis plants after executing an intelligence-led warrant at an address in Bury this morning.
The work comes as part of GMP's Moorside and Redvales neighbourhood team's commitment to tackling drug supply and associated problems within the community.
The morning action saw one man, aged 40, arrested on suspicion of cultivation of cannabis and immigration offences. He remains in custody for questioning.
142 plants were recovered at the address in Hampshire Close, in addition to several bags of vacuum-packed cannabis ready to be distributed.
Inspector Kevin Wright, from GMP's Bury district, said: "This was a great find and demonstrates our continued work to disrupting the supply and trade of drugs in Bury and the wider area.
"By removing these drugs from circulation, we have succeeded in sending a clear message that we will tackle criminality in our community and are committed to shutting down activities from which criminals can benefit from.
"If you have any information, I would encourage you to get in touch with us, as our work is greatly assisted by intelligence in the community. You can do so by calling 101, or reporting information at gmp.police.uk. Alternatively, you can contact the independent charity Crimestoppers, anonymously, on 0800 555 111."
