Court to decide venue for nine-person Norwich cannabis trial
Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 24 Oct, 13:32 · Archive
A court will decide in January where nine people accused of cannabis production in Norwich will stand trial.
Nine people accused of cannabis production at multiple sites in Norwich between 2018 and 2020 will have the venue of their trial decided at a case management hearing on 20 January.
Police seized 600 cannabis plants worth £240,000 from an address at Upton Close in October 2018. Other sites linked to the investigation include Bury Street, Glenmore Gardens, Quebec Road, Bluebell Road, Three Corners Drive in Old Catton, and Roe Drive in Earlham Rise. The defendants face charges of conspiracy to produce cannabis between August 2018 and May 2020, and conspiracy to convert or transfer criminal property between the same dates.
The trial, which is expected to take up to four months, is currently listed at King's Lynn Crown Court in March. However, that venue cannot accommodate all nine defendants. The January hearing will determine where the trial will take place and whether all nine will proceed to trial.
