Two men jailed after Stoke-on-Trent raid reveals cannabis farm
Officers found over 600 cannabis plants
Two men have been jailed after officers raided a building in Stoke-on-Trent and fund a cannabis farm with over 600 plants.
Officers forced entry into a building on Weston Road, Weston Coyney, on 22 October 2025, following concerns from the local community.
They found around 619 cannabis plants, related equipment, and two men hiding in the loft.
These two men have now been jailed.
Thanh Duong, 38, and Duong Van Nguyen, 45, both of no fixed address, pleaded guilty to conspiracy to produce cannabis - a class B drug.
Duong was jailed for one-year-and-two-months and Nguyen was jailed for one year.
Chief Inspector Laura Davies, who leads on our response to cannabis cultivation, said: “Cannabis grows are often linked with serious criminal networks and usually involve the exploitation of vulnerable people.
“I am glad that we were able to disrupt the cultivation and supply of cannabis in the area after acting on the concerns of local people."
