A Proceeds of Crime Act case came after Ian Neville, 56, was convicted of two charges in August 2023.

Neville, of Dunsheath, Hollinswood, Telford, had pleaded guilty to producing a controlled drug of class B, and possessing criminal property.

He was given a two-year prison sentence, suspended for two years.

At the time the court was told that police had raided Neville's home in December 2020, and found cannabis plants, as well as cash and gold collectors' coins.
