A photo of a police officer peering through a hole in the wall has been compared to a scene from the Teletubbies.
GMP Wigan West division posted the picture on its Facebook page and joked: "they were looking into it".
But locals compared the officer to "the sun" in children's TV show Teletubbies and shared a mock-up photo.
It came after police raided a cannabis farm in Scholes, Wigan, today.
The venting and lighting which were at the property has since been taken apart, the police Facebook post added.
GMP Wigan West division said: "We executed a warrant at an address in Derby House, Scholes this morning following concerns a cannabis cultivation was being set up.
"Offenders had begun the process of installing venting and lighting, but their plans have now been brought to an end and the set up dismantled.
"Considerable damage was caused to the address in the process. In regards to a hole in the wall - the Police are looking into it....Pc McCoombes and Pc Lamb."
One local wrote: "He looks like the sun on teletubbies."
Another replied: "GMP Wigan West dont print this out and stick it on his locker it's a disgrace."
One said: "Amazing!!!"
