A number of criminals across the North East have been convicted of drug related offences in recent weeks.
Some were found to have been peddling class A drugs while others have been tending to cannabis plants. The sentences which they have received at court have ranged from 14 years in prison to a community order.
In one of the most unusual cases, a man caused £75,000 worth of damage to a bungalow and sustained severe burns after the cannabis oil batch he was making exploded.
