In January, two men were charged when police seized £750,000 worth of cannabis plants in Broxburn at the Thistle Business Park by East Main Street.
And in December, a police operation resulted in nine people being charged after £1 million worth of cannabis plants were seized at properties in Edinburgh and Falkirk.
At the time, Detective Inspector Paul Greig urged landlords in the private rented sector to make sure they carry out thorough checks on prospective tenants.
