Police were initially called to the property due to reports of an altercation between a man and a woman.

Officers were dismantling the production facility this morning (Thursday), and a police presence remained outside the property this afternoon as officers continued investigations, with a police officer outside the building in a patrol car.

Insp Mark Payling said no one had yet been arrested in connection with the incident, but plants had been seized.

The street is a row of red brick terraces, around a mile from Doncaster Royal Infirmary.
