A cannabis farmer has been jailed after police discovered his grow operation at a home in Thamesmead.

Noah Fessazion, 31, of Dornberg Close in Greenwich, was found guilty of production of cannabis.

Detectives raided the house at Manning Court on February 26, 2016, where they discovered a cannabis factory with £35,000 worth of the illegal drug.

The factory was capable of producing over £100,000 worth of cannabis per year.

Nobody else was present during the raid, but police were able to track down Fessazion and he was arrested on March 3.

He pleaded not guilty at the Old Bailey but was found guilty after trial and sentenced to three years in prison.

Detective Constable Craig Underdown, from the Greenwich gangs unit, said: "I am very pleased with the conviction.

"The supply of all drugs within the borough drives all types of crime, whether that be anti-social behaviour or violent crime, we do not stop daily in protecting the residents of Greenwich from this activity."
