A NORTHWICH man is set to appear at Chester Crown Court next month after being charged with producing cannabis in the town.

Eduard Miceli was taken into custody on Thursday, March 2, after police discovered a huge cannabis farm in Walker Road, Winnington.

The 20-year-old was subsequently charged with producing a quantity of a controlled class B drug.

Miceli, of Walker Road, appeared before Warrington magistrates on Saturday to face the charges.

He was remanded in custody and will now appear at Chester Crown Court on April 3.

As part of the ongoing fight against illegal drugs, residents are urged to remain vigilant and report any suspicious activity.
