Teen denies Harrogate cannabis farm charge
A Vietnamese teenager has denied being concerned in the production of Class B drugs after police discovered a cannabis farm in Harlow Hill, Harrogate.
Manh Nguyen, 18, of no fixed address, appeared at York Crown Court today (Monday, September 5) when his case was adjourned for a trial in January next year.
Mr Nguyen was arrested after police raided a property in West Lea Avenue, in the Harlow Hill area, last month.
It’s understood that during a search of the property, they found about 500 cannabis plants and other items linked to drug production.
Mr Nguyen was charged with being concerned in the production of a Class B drug but denied the allegation when he appeared in court via video link today, aided by a Vietnamese interpreter.
Judge Simon Hickey adjourned the case for a trial starting on January 25 next year. A further case-management hearing will be heard on November 11 this year.
Mr Nguyen was remanded in custody until that date.
