A man who lives in Kettering has been charged after police found a cannabis farm at a disused pub.

Alensio Rucaj, of High Street, was arrested after the discovery at the old Tricorn pub in Runcorn, Cheshire, on Saturday (January 9).

A 'large quantity' of cannabis plants found inside the boarded up building were seized, as well as equipment used to cultivate them.

The other two are Erjoni Ramaj, of no fixed address and Tafil Ramaj, of Balcombe Road in Horley, Surrey. Both are aged 24.

All three appeared at Warrington Magistrates’ Court, via a videolink, yesterday.

They were all remanded in custody and are set to appear at Chester Crown Court on Monday, February 8.
