Two men charged in connection with a drugs farm worth more than £1 million have been remanded in custody.

Officers searched a property in Ramsgate town centre and found 700 plants inside the house in Cliff Street.

The plants were said to be at "various stages of growth" and were seized alongside cannabis drying as it was being prepared for distribution.

Equipment and plants were found in several rooms throughout the property on Friday and the cultivation equipment was dismantled by officers.

Two people were accused of growing the drugs and charged with producing cannabis.

Geraldo Hoxha, 23, and Gazmend Kurtaj, 43, have been remanded in custody by Canterbury Magistrates and their case was sent to the crown court to be dealt with.

The pair, both of no fixed address, were charged on Saturday.

The dawn raid was carried out by officers and PCSOs from Thanet Community Policing Team.

Both men will next appear at Canterbury Crown Court on Friday, February 11.

DI Keith Taylor said: "If people have any concerns that illegal drug activity is taking place in their street or community, we urge them to report it, either via 101 (or 999 if a crime is in progress) or by using our online reporting form."
