A 44-year-old man will appear in court next week charged in connection with a cannabis growing operation in the Wellington suburb of Broadmeadows.

Police searched a house in the suburb last Thursday and seized 16 cannabis plants, ranging in height from 153cm to 183cm.

Two boxes of cannabis cuttings were also seized, Constable Jana Peterson, of the Wellington Police Crime Control Unit (CCU), said.

The man was arrested yesterday and faces charges including cultivation of cannabis and possession of methamphetamine utensils.

He will appear in Wellington District Court March 28.
