TWO men have appeared in court after being charged with cultivation of cannabis.

Namngoc Ta, 29, of Arden Press Way, Letchworth, and Cuong Minh Duong, 47, of no fixed abode, appeared at Stevenage Magistrates Court yesterday before being committed to Cambridge Crown Court.

The men are currently being held in custody and will appear at a preliminary hearing at Cambridge Crown Court on June 24.

The charges follow a police raid at an address in Letchworth GC at 10am on Saturday. They found several hundred plants they believe were being used to produce the drug.
