Keca admitted cultivating Class B drugs and was jailed for one year at Nottingham Crown Court on Monday (9/9).
PC Ben Powell, of Nottinghamshire Police, said: “As Keca has now found out to his cost, growing cannabis is a very serious offence that can lead to prison time.
“This should serve as a good example of how robustly we will respond as a police force, should we receive credible information of drug activity in the community.

“We don’t want these types of cannabis grows operating in our areas, and we know people who live there don’t either, which is why we will always look to take action.”
