Hide AdSergeant Andy Burtenshaw said: “We are appealing for anyone with any information to call us in relation to this find.
"Cannabis production is far from being harmless: it is often linked to wider, organised criminality which is why tackling the wider issue of drug supply is one of our key priorities.
"Lincolnshire Police remains determined to crack down on criminal enterprises and remove drugs from circulation."
Anyone with any information relating to this incident should call police on 101, quoting Incident 32 of December 18.
