Adelaide police have arrested two men who were pushing a wheelie bin allegedly filled with cannabis.

Police became suspicious as the men dumped the bin and ran off when they saw the patrol car in Morphett Road at Seacombe Gardens at midnight.

Officers gave chase and quickly caught the pair.

Police allege there was a large amount of marijuana in the bin and say they noticed two trails of the drug along Morphett Road.

One led them to a house where hydroponics equipment was allegedly set up in several rooms.

The other led to a house where the men were staying and police say they found more cannabis.

The men, 31 and 25, have been charged with serious criminal trespass and stealing and trafficking cannabis.
