It follows a recent seizure of cannabis which was stored in multiple hotel rooms across Adelaide.

Police searched a South Tce hotel in April and found 11 vacuum sealed bags of weed, before later searching a hotel room on Jasper St in Hyde Park where they found a further eight bags.

A NSW man, 23, was arrested over the seizures.

Also in April, detectives searched a Thebarton warehouse and seized a large hydroponic cannabis crop including 163 mature cannabis plants and about 150kg of dried cannabis. Later that week, a Welland warehouse was searched and police seized a second cannabis crop including 18 plants and around half a kilogram of cannabis bud.
