Police have uncovered an underground bunker containing a cannabis crop in a quiet street in Cairns.

It was a tip-off from Crime Stoppers that led police to the scene that wouldn’t be out of place in a Hollywood blockbuster.

Officers searching a shed on the property at Mooroombool found a tool box that, when opened, revealed a false bottom hiding three steps that led down to an underground cavern.

It's the second major bust of its kind in Queensland this week.

On Monday, a Vietnamese national was been charged by Queensland Police over more than $1 million worth of cannabis found during a routine traffic stop .

Officers from the Ipswich Tactical Crime Squad were carrying out patrols in Minden, 64km west of Brisbane, when they pulled over a Hyundai iLoad on the Warrego Highway about 7pm.

A search of the vehicle resulted in the alleged discovery of more than 250 kilograms of cannabis with an estimated street value of $1.5 million.

"It was a very large find for us, it was quite significant,” Queensland Police’s Glenn Fleming told 9news.

“There was a smell of cannabis emanating from the vehicle and as a result of that, police had cause to search the vehicle.”

The driver, Cuong Van Phan, was arrested and charged with dangerous drug possession and appeared at Ipswich Magistrate’s Court today.
