Thursday 10 Jan 2008

---
TWO men were jailed today for supplying equipment to help people grow
cannabis. Judge David Price said the pair's Derby firm was clearly
intended "to enable customers to produce the drug". He imposed a
three-year jail term on Paul Fenwick, 45, of Leicestershire, part owner
of Hydroponics Wholesale, on Derby Trading Estate, Stores Road. And a
21-month sentence was imposed on his business partner, David Kenning,
36, of Wymeswold, near Loughborough. The judge said the business was set
up in 2003 by Fenwick, who called in Kenning because of his expertise in
the import of goods. Sitting at Nottingham Crown Court, the judge
granted a warrant for the arrest of their employee in the business, Paul
Blackshaw, 32, of Barley Close, Little Eaton. He failed to answer his
bail. In November the three were found guilty after a trial at Derby
Crown Court of conspiring to aid and abet the production of cannabis.
David Matthew, for Kenning, has lodged an appeal and told the judge that
his client thought the business was legal.
