Police in Norwich have charged a man in his 20s following the discovery of a cannabis factory on Dowson Road. The officers executed a drugs warrant at a property where they found 166 cannabis plants and hydroponics equipment. Denis Corri, a 27-year-old man with no fixed address, was arrested at the scene and charged with producing a controlled class A drug (cannabis) and abstracting electricity. He appeared in court and was remanded into custody ahead of his next court appearance on December 9th.
The discovery of the cannabis factory is part of Operation Orbit, which was launched last month to tackle serious and organised criminality in Norfolk and Suffolk. Since its inception, officers have seized cannabis valued at over £8 million and made 160 arrests. The operation aims to crack down on drug production and distribution in the region. The police are working diligently to dismantle criminal networks and prevent illegal drugs from reaching the streets.
The use of hydroponics equipment to grow cannabis without soil in an artificial environment is a growing trend among drug producers. This method allows for greater control over the growing conditions and can result in higher yields of the plant. Police are working to identify and shut down these operations to prevent the distribution of illegal drugs. Public awareness and cooperation are also crucial in helping law enforcement in their efforts to combat drug-related crimes.
Individuals involved in drug production and distribution face serious consequences, including criminal charges and potential imprisonment. The case of Denis Corri serves as a reminder of the risks involved in illegal drug activities. Police are committed to enforcing the law and taking action against those involved in criminal activities. The community plays a vital role in supporting law enforcement efforts and helping to keep neighborhoods safe from the harmful effects of drug trafficking.
