Man jailed for Crewe cannabis production following police warrant

A cannabis grower has been jailed after local officers acting on information searched a house in Crewe.

Ilir Mucmata, of no fixed address, appeared at Chester Crown Court on 18 February to be sentenced after pleading guilty to producing cannabis.

The 56-year-old was jailed for 12 months and the plants and equipment ordered for destruction.

On Monday 20 January officers from Crewe Local Policing Unit executed a warrant at an address in Goode Way in Crewe.

Officers found 100 plants, growing equipment and scales. Mucmata was arrested at the scene.
