A man has been handed a two year suspended sentence after he was found to be using his home as a cannabis farm. Dean Hobson, 43, appeared before the courts after more than 200 cannabis plants were found growing in three different rooms within the same house.
Officers were made aware of suspicious activity in Southwell Road East, Rainworth, after the landlord was refused entry to the house and had smelt cannabis. Nottinghamshire Police response crews then carried out a warrant at the address on March 19, 2021.
Once inside, officers then discovered the large crop of cannabis growing across the house, while also realising that the electricity meter had been illegally bypassed. All of the illicit drugs were then seized and destroyed by the police.
