Two men were found hiding in a ceiling from the police.
Two men have been jailed for 16 months for their part in the production of cannabis.
In May this year officers executed a warrant at a unit in Baker Street, Coalville, and found more than 900 cannabis plants.
Bajram Isaku and Blerim Kamberi were found by officers hiding in the suspended ceiling.
PC Joel Tarplin, said: “This was a significant operation for North-West Leicestershire’s Neighbourhood Policing Area and resulted in hundreds of plants being recovered and stopped from reaching the streets of Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland.
“The defendants' intention was to produce a large amount of cannabis for financial gain and we are pleased they have both pleaded guilty to their involvement in the production of these drugs."
Officers found cultivating equipment and plants in the unit which had an estimated street value of more than £650,000.
A forfeiture order was granted today (6 July) ordering the forfeiture of money and drugs, which will be destroyed.
