A 41-year-old man was arrested last night, in connection with the investigation into a large cannabis farm found on Greythorpe Industrial Estate in November 2024.

He was charged with production of cannabis, being concerned in the supply of cannabis and abstracting electricity, to appear at Teesside Magistrates' Court today, Friday 10th January.
