FOUR men have been charged with a cannabis grow worth hundreds of thousands of pounds.

Xhelal Kabasha, Gentian Kanushi, Arben Qemallaj and Euxhenio Mucobega - all of no fixed address - were all arrested at about 7.40am on Tuesday, August 8, when North Yorkshire Police carried out a raid at a farm near Riccall, Selby.

All four were charged with production of cannabis, after more than a thousand plants were found, and appeared before York Magistrates Court last week.

Qemallaj denied the charge, but the other three pleaded guilty.

All four were remanded in custody and will appear before York Crown Court next month.
