ALMOST £300,000 of stolen property was discovered at an Amblecote industrial unit where police also found hundreds of cannabis plants.
Officers swooped on the unit in Platts Crescent at around 7am on Monday August 9 and seized 700 cannabis plants.
They also discovered around 250 pieces of stolen property, worth almost £300,000, when they carried out the raid.
Police say they have already been able to return many of the items, including two ornamental urns from a pub in Wordsley, musical instruments from a school in Kidderminster and tools which had been stolen from vans in Birmingham and Wolverhampton.
Some of the items still had their owner's details attached while others were marked up with forensic marking solutions, and after being scanned with an ultraviolet light officers were able to see who they belong to and get them back to their rightful owners.
PC Lucinda Boardman, from Dudley Police, said: "As you can imagine those people are delighted to get their property back.
"But unfortunately quite a few of the items don't have any identifying features on them, so we need help to get them returned to their rightful owners."
Two men arrested on suspicion of cultivating cannabis have been bailed as the police investigation continues. The cannabis plants have since been destroyed.
Anyone who believes an item may be theirs can get in touch with officers via live chat on the force website west-midlands.police.uk or emailing contactus@west-midlands.pnn.police.uk, and quote reference 1638-170821.
