Two men have been arrested after cannabis plants valued at 拢491,000 were seized from an abandoned building on Droitwich high street.
The operation was discovered after community members raised concerns with West Mercia Police about the growing of the Class B drug.
Officers said they found 600 plants in nine rooms across three floors.
The men, aged 20 and 39, were arrested on Wednesday morning on suspicion of the production of a controlled drug and remain in police custody.
Sgt Shaun Blackshaw said: "Grows like this one are linked to organised criminal gangs whose actions reap harm on the communities we are here to protect and serve.
鈥淭he drugs they sell have a negative impact on our communities and can lead to other criminality, or the harm and exploitation of vulnerable people."
