The plants, which can be valued up to £3,000, were seized at numerous properties along White Oats in the village.

PC Joseph Jermy, from the Dereham police force, said: 'This was an intelligence-led police operation, with no arrests made yet.

'We will however be carrying out interviews to ascertain those involved, as until then we don't know as the interviewees may give the names of other people, friends for example, who were involved.'

As the investigation is on going, it is not yet known the value of the plants taken in the raid, PC Jermy added: 'None of these plants would be valued up at the top end of £3,000.'

The officer continued: 'It's a tiny village so it was a surprise. We carry out investigations like this all the time, across the county.'
