The crop worth an estimated street value of £5,000 was found growing in the loft of a home on Thornes Lane.
PCs Matt Lewis and Toby Warden, of the Central neighbourhood police team (NPT), raided the house on Saturday morning at around 11.15am.
Acting Insp Lis Walker said: “It was a rented property and the landlord had organised a routine inspection.
“While there he went into the loft, which I don’t think the tenants expected him to, and then he called the police straightaway.”
