A MAN is due in court following the discovery of a suspected cannabis factory at an address in West Dorset.

Local officers attended an address in the Mosterton area near Beaminster at around 12.20pm on Tuesday, June 21, and carried out a search of the premises. In an outbuilding they reportedly located around 50 suspected cannabis plants as well as cash and a small amount of a suspected class A drug.

Jason Richard Seward, aged 52 and of Mosterton, has been issued with a postal requisition to appear at Weymouth Magistrates’ Court on Thursday, August 11, for offences of being concerned in the production of a class B drug and possessing a class A drug.
