Three jailed over cannabis haul

Three men from Devizes have been jailed at Salisbury Crown Court for growing cannabis plants with a street value of more than £5,000.

Tong Quy Van, 48, Dat Sinh Mon, 50, and Hung Van Chu, 35, pleaded guilty and were sentenced to six years, two-and-a-half years and two years respectively.

Police attended a rented property in Broadleas, Devizes in March which had been turned into a cannabis factory.

They found more than 100 plants and extensive lighting equipment.

Insp Andy Noble, from Wiltshire Police, said: "It sends a clear message that Wiltshire Police will not tolerate this type of behaviour.

"It has negative consequences on the lives of not only the drug users but also their families, friends and the wider community."
