Man charged after £2m worth of cannabis seized in Leeds raid
A man has been charged after a haul of cannabis estimated to be worth more than £2 million was seized from a house in Leeds.
The drugs were recovered after police and immigration enforcement officers executed a warrant at a property on Falkland Court in Moortown.
During the raid, officers arrested 32-year-old Renat Sade on suspicion of fraudulent document offences.
A search of the property uncovered 209 vacuum-sealed bags of dried cannabis, each weighing one kilogram. West Yorkshire Police estimate the drugs’ street value at around £2.09 million.
Sade, of Falkland Court, has been charged with possession of cannabis with intent to supply, possession of criminal property, and possession of a false identity document with intent to establish personal information.
He appeared before magistrates in Leeds earlier today (Thursday) and has been remanded in custody to appear at Leeds Crown Court on April 9.
