Police have seized over 700 plants in an organised shutdown.
The pre-planned raid took place on Collwall street in the Darnall area of Sheffield.
South Yorkshire Police followed intelligence gathered by other officers indicating that drugs were being grown and distributed from the premises.
Two men, Damiano Benari, 25 and Eneo Guri, 27, were arrested on the spot and have since been charged with the cultivation of cannabis.
Local Sheffield South East Neighbourhood Policing Team Inspector, Katie Roland-Wilson said: “Some people may think cannabis is a ‘harmless’ drug however the production and supply of cannabis is often linked to organised crime and the exploitation of vulnerable people who are recruited to look after the grows.
“Acting on intelligence received, we executed a warrant at the premises at Darnall and within it, we located a cannabis factory with the plants within it having a street value of up to half a million pounds.
“I am pleased that we have taken out another cannabis factory as part of our efforts to tackle the supply of drugs, and I encourage the public to look out for signs that the property is being used to grow drugs.”
