Staffordshire Police have charged two men after finding three cannabis grows on the same street in Stoke-on-Trent.

A team of officers searched three addresses on 4 March near Salisbury Street in Tunstall.

They found a number of plants, electrical equipment and growing tools which have all been seized as part of separate investigations.

Three cannabis grows were found on the same residential street (Google).

Dangerous electricity bypasses at the sites were also isolated to make sure the area was made safe for those living nearby.

Kledi Hilaj, aged 24, of no fixed address, has been charged with producing a controlled class B drug and resisting a constable in execution of duty.

Klejton Shahinaj, aged 20, of Stoke-on-Trent, has been charged with being concerned in the production of a class B drug.
