They discovered hundreds of plants growing in the home, as well as multiple black sacks of the illegal crop.

Officers dismantled the growing equipment and seized the drugs.

He appeared at Margate Magistrates’ Court later the same day and was remanded in custody.

The case will next be heard at Canterbury Crown Court on Monday December 16.
