Pair disappointed with quality of Carrickfergus cannabis decided to grow their own

Two men were so disappointed with the quality of cannabis sold in Carrickfergus, Co Antrim, that they decided to grow their own, a court heard today.

Belfast Crown Court heard that 31-year-old Marcin Jarzebiak and 38-year-old Bartosz Czeslaw Szadkowski admitted a charge of growing cannabis.

Szadkowski also pleaded guilty to possession of the Class B drug.

Some 37 plants with associated paraphernalia was found in a search of the men's home.

The court agreed that the find was "not indicative of a commercial enterprise".

Szadkowski was sentenced to 12 months, suspended for two years, while Jarzebiak was given nine months, also suspended for two years.
