Sunderland man fined for growing cannabis

Graham David Carr, 37, of Tunstall Village Green, admitted producing the class B drug when he appeared before South Tyneside Magistrates’ Court.

Glenda Beck, prosecuting, said officers went to an address and found two plants and growing equipment.

She said: “He went on to admit growing them for personal use. He thought it was OK to have a small farm.”

Carr was fined £120 and ordered to pay £85 costs and a £32 victim surcharge.
