POLICE have seized 1000 cannabis plants from 10 suburban Melbourne homes, along with cash, cars and even furniture.

Nine people were arrested over drug-related offences after police raids at 10 homes in the south-eastern suburbs which were allegedly being used to grow cannabis in hydroponic set-ups.

About 1000 cannabis plants were seized along with $90,000 in cash, five cars and a large amount of household furniture, police said.

About $4 million worth of property was also expected to be confiscated as the proceeds of crime.

Frankston police simultaneously raided 10 homes in Carrum Downs, Sandhurst, Cranbourne, Waterways, Lyndhurst and Springvale this morning, following a two-month operation.

Five men and three women, all aged in their 30s were being interviewed by police.

Another man was released pending inquiries, police said.
