PUNE: A huge cache of cannabis weighing about 10 quintals was unearthed by police during a raid today on a house on the city's outskirts.

The raid was carried out after four days of surveillance by sleuths of the anti-narcotics department engaged in an intensive combing operation in and around the city in the wake of the busting of a rave party on March four.

Around 280 youths, including girls, were nabbed at the party for drug consumption.

When police reached the house-cum-godown on the bank of a canal in Hadapsar, it was found abandoned by the peddlers, Deputy Commissioner of Police (anti-narcotics) Sunil Phulari said.

The market price of the haul, according to a preliminary estimate, was put at least Rs 10 lakhs, he said.

No arrests have been made in this connection, Phulari said.
