Officers carried out a drugs bust yesterday morning at a property in Leebotwood, and found 207 plants.

Eraldo Kashari, aged 27, was arrested and subsequently charged with producing cannabis.

He appeared at Kidderminster Magistrates Court today.

Karashi, of Calderon Road, Leytonstone, made no plea. His defence advocate asked magistrates to bail him to an address in Cardiff where his family live, but this was refused.
