SECRET caves dug beneath a suburban house have been used to grow a marijuana crop.
Police executed a search warrant on a home in Deer Park expecting to find a hydroponic lighting and cultivation set-up yesterday morning.
They initially found nothing, but Powercorp officials involved in the raid said there was an unusually high use of electricity at the property, indicating a concealed use.
They followed a trail of wiring that stretched under the Neale Rd house to two purpose-built caves.
Officers from the Altona North regional response unit found 75 plants being cared for under lights.
It is not known how the holes were constructed under the 1970s property.
The plants' growers had cut holes into floorboards at the bottom of a wardrobe to make a hidden hatch to reach the crop.
Police were last night questioning a 47-year-old woman and a 45-year-old man over the discovery.
