CANNABIS worth more than $1.3 million was seized by police from houses in Noble Park, Springvale and Springvale South last week.
Greater Dandenong tasking unit police seized 327 plants growing hydroponically in eight rooms in a Noble Park house last Tuesday afternoon.
The Buckley Street house had no occupants.
Police estimate the plants have a wholesale value of more than $1 million. The crop’s street value would be much more.
Police also seized $30,000 of cultivation equipment.
No one has been arrested in relation to the raid.
Last Wednesday afternoon, the tasking unit seized 182 hydroponic cannabis plants from a house in Springfield Avenue, Springvale South.
The plants had a wholesale value of about $300,000. About $15,000 of equipment was also seized.
A man was charged with cultivating a commercial quantity of cannabis, trafficking, possession and theft of electricity.
That night, officers also seized a ‘‘small amount’’ of cannabis from a house in Westall Road, Springvale.
