THREE men have appeared at court for trial, a little over two years after police raided a business unit in Roborough and uncovered a large cannabis farm.
The jury at Plymouth Crown Court heard how Jakub Allaraj, aged 33, and Isidor Vasile, aged 33, face one charge of conspiracy to produce Class B cannabis between May 1, 2022, and September 21, 2022. It is alleged they conspired to produce the cannabis with Hazbi Isufaj and another man as well as other unknown men.
Steven Langdon, aged 64, of Old Exeter Road, Tavistock, faces one charge of permitting the production of Class B cannabis on premises - namely Unit 6, Hursley Business Park, Roborough - between May 1, 2022, and September 21, 2022. He is alleged to have "knowingly permitted or suffered to take place on the said premises the production of a controlled drug of Class B, namely cannabis".
Prosecutor Katie Churcher told the court on Monday this week that Isufaj, aged 40, from Beckenham, in London, had previously pleaded guilty to his part in the alleged conspiracy.
She told the jury of six men and six women that officers from Devon and Cornwall Police executed a warrant at 3.30pm on September 21, 2022, at the business unit, which was found to have been partitioned into three rooms for growing cannabis, plus space used as "living quarters".
