Eduard Miceli, 20, of Walker Road in Winnington, was jailed for two years at Chester
Crown Court after pleading guilty to producing cannabis, in a case reported on
10 June 2023.[1]Officers had raided the semi-detached house on Walker Road on
2 March 2023 and found more than 100 cannabis plants growing across four rooms.[1]
Miceli was inside the house during the raid, ran off on foot when officers arrived and
was caught after a 15-minute chase on Winnington Road.[1]Police said the loft had
been insulated and appeared to have been used for an earlier grow, and that power
diverted from the mains created a major fire hazard.[1]Sergeant Leanne Brundrett of
the Northwich policing unit said the warrant had taken a significant quantity of
illegal drugs off the streets of Northwich, adding that the impact of illegal drugs on
communities should not be underestimated.[1]
