Four men charged following cannabis grow find

Four men have been charged after we found nearly 1,000 cannabis plants in south Staffordshire.

Mikel Hasani, 27, from Hinckley, has been charged with producing cannabis.

Martin Kurti, 27, Ardit Lataj, 29, and Arlind Neza, 31, all of no fixed address, have also been charged with the same offence.

It comes after we found 944 cannabis plants inside an address in Perton on Friday (8 March).

All four men will appear at the North Staffordshire Justice Centre today (Monday 11 March).

A 44-year-old man, from Wolverhampton, was arrested on suspicion of being concerned in the production of class B drugs. He has been released on conditional bail while enquiries continue.

Officers across the region are continuing to proactively target drug cultivation as part of our Operation Levidrome commitment.
