A MAN has been charged after a £100,000 cannabis cultivation was discovered in the town centre on Monday.
A total of 241 cannabis plants were recovered as officers from Operation Fortify attended the address on Corporation Street at around 1.15pm to execute a warrant under the Misuse of Drugs Act.
The plants had a street value of over £100,000 and a 29-year-old was arrested at the scene.
Manjol Kicka, of no fixed abode, has since been charged with cannabis production.
He appeared before magistrates on Tuesday and was remanded into custody until his next court appearance on July 14.
We have been at the heart of our community, every week, since 1858. The town and its people have changed dramatically since then but the Chronicle has been a constant.
It’s our belief that news should be available to everyone regardless of their circumstance. But we need a little helping hand to do so.
Production Editor, Ashley Ball, said: "In an ever changing media world, it’s important that news is reported correctly and without any hidden agenda.
Your support allows us to keep holding decision-makers to account and report on everything that happens in the town, good or bad, fairly."
