Pentney: Cannabis case man in court
THE owner of Pentney Bowls and Leisure Club who is charged with drugs offences has appeared in Norwich Crown Court.
Lance Lewis (41), of Ketts Hill, Necton, appeared with Benjamin Heward (46) of Woodhill Rise, Norwich, and Rainer Doss (53), of Yarmouth,
on Friday.
The proceedings were adjourned until Thursday, February 18, and all three men were remanded in custody.
They are charged with conspiracy to supply controlled drugs, namely class B, between January 1 and October 30, last year.
The super strength cannabis with a estimated street value of 1.1 million was seized following a dramatic police raid on a lorry in a
Swaffham yard on October 29, last year.
Skunk cannabis – so called because of its strength and pungent smell – is believed to have been hidden in the vehicle which was importing
flowers from Holland to Harwich, in Essex.
A large quantity of cash, a firearm and a number of vehicles were also found following extensive searches. Mr Lewis has also been charged
with possession of a shotgun without a licence between January 1 and October 30.
They were remanded in custody at Lynn Magistrates' Court on October 31, and had their preliminary hearing at Norwich Crown Court on November
16.
