Man charged after 140 cannabis plants found

A man has been charged after we found more than 140 cannabis plants at a home in Stoke-on-Trent.

Hazret Malaj, 35, of no-fixed-address, has been charged with producing cannabis and will appear at North Staffordshire Justice Centre today (Monday 18 September).

It comes following reports of suspicious activity at an address in Adderley Green which officers attended yesterday (Sunday 17 September).

We found more than 140 cannabis plants inside.

The activity follows our ongoing commitment to proactively target those involved in drug cultivation across Staffordshire – called Operation Levidrome.
