Two suspected drug dealers were arrested after officers pulled over a van that had been reported stolen.
Officers spotted the vehicle in Mansfield at around 11.40am on Wednesday and followed it for a short distance into Babworth Court.
After detaining the driver and passenger they discovered a large number of infant cannabis plants and a large amount of cash.
Two men, aged 38 and 21, were arrested on suspicion of possessing Class B drugs with intent to supply and theft of a motor vehicle.
The older man was also held on suspicion of driving without a licence and driving without insurance.
Investigations are ongoing and the men remain in police custody. The drugs will now be destroyed.
PC Joshua Gibbons, of Nottinghamshire Police, said:
“This vehicle was stopped because it had been reported as stolen, but the large quantity of illegal drugs we found in the back were certainly an added bonus.”
