A 72-year-old former guest-house owner is to face trial after she denied cannabis production.
Yoko Banks, of Scargill Road, Harrogate, appeared at York Crown Court yesterday to face three charges.
The alleged offences took place at properties in Harrogate, where cannabis grows were discovered by police in September.
Banks pleaded not guilty to being concerned in the production of a Class B drug. Judge Sean Morris adjourned the case for a trial starting on March 2 next year.
