Invercargill police officers remove lighting equipment and bags of evidence seized during a search of a Tweed St house yesterday afternoon.

A 44-year-old man was arrested after police found the hydroponic cannabis-growing operation in the city yesterday.

Sergeant Wing Ng said officers with a search warrant seized cannabis and drug paraphernalia such as heat lamps and other growing equipment during a search of the man's house about 12.30pm.

Police found stolen property including televisions and several firearms.

The arrested man was questioned before he was granted police bail.

He is scheduled to appear in the Invercargill District Court on Friday facing cannabis, theft and firearms charges, Mr Ng said.
