Two suspects have appeared in court after proactive police work uncovered a cannabis grow in a house.
Nearly 200 plants were discovered after officers executed a Misuse of Drugs Act warrant at the address in Crookdole Lane, Calverton.
Electrical cables were found in upstairs rooms, with 196 plants of varying sizes found in the loft.
Two men were swiftly arrested on suspicion of cultivating cannabis following the enforcement activity on Tuesday (9 August 2022).
Nhung Van Nguyen, aged 38, of no fixed address, and Dung Van Tran, aged 27, of Crookdole Lane, were subsequently charged with production of cannabis and appeared at Nottingham Magistrates’ Court today (Thursday 11 August 2022).
They were remanded in custody and are next due to appear at Nottingham Crown Court on 15 September 2022.
Inspector Mark Stanley, of Nottinghamshire Police, said: “As a result of our swift enforcement activity, acting on intelligence received, we were able to seize illegal drugs of significant value and bring two suspects before the court.
“Proactive operations like this one are just a small part of the ongoing preventative work we are doing to tackle drug dealing in our communities.
“We rely on information from local people, so building up trust and confidence with the public is imperative. I urge the public to keep reporting to us because the more information we get, the better intelligence picture we can build and the more robust action we can take.
“We really value information supplied by the public and will always act on it, where appropriate, to keep people safe from harm and make a positive difference in our communities.”
“If you have any information regarding any criminal issues in your area, don’t hesitate to call us on 101 or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111. In an emergency call 999.”
