CIU detectives seized roughly 1000 cannabis plants after executing five different search warrants in a little over a month in suburbs including Narre Warren, Cranbourne and Lyndhurst.
The equipment used to grow the cannabis was also seized.
Acting Detective Sergeant Adam Ferguson said he couldn’t confirm whether the five separate drug houses were linked.
