Man jailed after Crewe Police uncover town centre centre cannabis production

A 24-year-old man has been jailed following a warrant by Crewe police.

Gledis Mousaku (pictured), from Edleston Road in Crewe, appeared at Chester Crown Court on January 31, and pleaded guilty to the production of Cannabis.

He was sentenced to six months in prison, the drugs and drug paraphernalia were ordered for destruction, and he had to pay a victim surcharge of £154.

The court heard how Crewe Beat Team, acting on information, executed a warrant at the address – a closed down takeaway on the ground floor, with a flat above.

Mousaku was living above the empty takeaway looking after the 95 plants which officers discovered on the second floor with lighting and other equipment needed to grow cannabis.

Mousaku admitted to producing cannabis but denied he had modified the flat and its electricity supply.

Following interview, he was later charged with producing cannabis.

PC Justin Taylor said: “We understand the impact illegal drugs have on our community and will stop at nothing to disrupt the supply.

“I hope this latest result reassures you that we do listen and do take action. It’s vital we all work together to make Crewe too difficult for criminals to ply their trade.”

Anyone with information on illegal drug activity should contact Cheshire Police on 101 or via the website. Alternatively, contact Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
