Marijuana plants and a trailer full of growing equipment have been seized from a house in Waipukurau after a police raid yesterday morning.
It's not known how many plants were seized, or their value, or whether it was a large-scale growing operation.
A female occupant of the house had been detained and was currently helping police with their enquiries, said Sergeant Greg Simmons, from Hawke's Bay Police's Public Safety Team.
"At about 10.30am yesterday morning, police arrived at a Waipukurau address so as to execute a search warrant issued in relation to alleged cannabis cultivation," Simmons said.
"As you will see we've seized a lot of gear. We have also seized a number of plants which police believe are obviously cannabis and we are making enquiries with a female occupant of this address and her knowledge of it."
