Officers from the Ilkeston Safer Neighbourhood Policing Team have removed cannabis plants from a property on East Street in the town.
The plants were found on the 9th June after a drug search was conducted at the address following intelligence developed by officers.
31-year old Dion Vidrica from Ilkeston was arrested at the scene and appeared in court on Wednesday morning when he was remanded to prison.
Sergeant Duffield from the Ilkeston Safer Neighbourhood Team said: ''Our Officers work hard to develop intelligence around organised crime in our community. We are a proactive team and will enforce and target those individuals involved in criminality.''
“As well as being illegal, such activity is highly dangerous, as in this case, the electricity supply had been diverted, and posed a serious risk of fire to the occupants and the neighbouring properties.''
'We will continue to detect and destroy cannabis grows in our area and protect the public from the danger and risks they pose.''
