CANNABIS plants have been ordered to be destroyed after they were discovered in Hereford.
Carl Phillips entered a guilty plea to one count of producing cannabis, a controlled drug of class B when he appeared before magistrates in Hereford on June 4.
The court heard the 43-year-old had been caught producing cannabis in Hereford on October 30 last year.
He was found to have produced the class B controlled drug contrary to section four and schedule four of The Misuse of Drugs Act 1971.
