UK: Tenant jailed after cannabis recovered
The Sentinel Thursday 24 May 2012 Darren Cash, pictured, was arrested on October 22 last year after police executed a search warrant at his address in Mynors Street, Northwood. Officers found a room divided into two by a partition wall. Eleven cannabis plants were found in one with three reflector lamps and 12 cannabis plants were found in the other with an irrigation system. The estimated yield was 490 grams with a street value of between £2,000 and £2,800. Cash, aged 32, pleaded guilty to producing a class B drug on the basis others set up the system and he just had to keep an eye on things. He added that the cannabis was to be sold and he was to receive half the proceeds, about £1,500. He was also given £25 a week towards the electricity and water which would be deducted from the £1,500. Robin Lichfield, mitigating, said Cash did not have to tend the cannabis plants as the system was set up so it would look after itself. He asked Judge Granville Styler to suspend the sentence. But the judge said the offending was purely for commercial gain and jailed Cash for six months. He told the defendant: "People like you will have to learn. If you enter the growing of cannabis for commercial reasons custodial sentences are going to follow." http://www.thisisstaffordshire.co.uk/Tenant-jailed-cannabis-recovered/story-16174010-detail/story.html
