A man who looked after a cannabis factory in Lye has been given a 15-month suspended prison sentence.

31-year-old Kevin Upton was arrested after police smelled cannabis and found matching DNA samples at an industrial unit in Enterprise Drive.

More than 150 cannabis plants with a street value of around £100,000 were discovered.

Upton denied any involvement but later pleaded guilty to being concerned in the production of a controlled drug and was told to pay £1,800 and 200 hours unpaid work.
