They all face one count of producing a Class B drug and were remanded in custody.

Police Constable Dave Myers, of Nottinghamshire Police, said: “We always take reports of cannabis production seriously as it can often be linked to wider, organised criminality.

“It also puts neighbouring families at risk because of the dangerous electrical wiring and bypassing we often find at cannabis grows.

“Police officers rely on information from local people, so building up trust and confidence with the public is imperative.

“I urge the public to keep reporting to us because the more information we get, the better intelligence picture we can build and we always act on any information which is viable.”
