Police find cannabis farm with 250 plants in Newcastle home worth more than £200,000

A large-scale cannabis farm worth £200,000 has been discovered in a Newcastle house.
Officers raided a property on Hillhead Road, West Denton and once inside officers found more than 250 cannabis plants at various stages of growth – with an estimated value of more than £200,000!
Further searches also unearthed the property’s electricity had been bypassed and the electric company attended to make the property safe again.
The farm was dismantled and a 26-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of production of cannabis and has since been dealt with via immigration officials.
Officers from the North East Regional Organised Crime Unit (NEROCU), with support from NCA officers and Northumbria Police Neighbourhood Support Team, were involved in the raid on Friday.
Speaking about the activity, Sergeant Neil Lovat, from NEROCU’s Disruption Team, said: “I hope this activity is a clear sign of our stance on illegal drug supply in our region.
“We know that members of the public have differing views on cannabis, but the reality is that a farm of this size will turn a significant profit which will then be reinvested into further illicit activity such as trafficking and exploitation by organised criminals, who have little to no concern for the ripple effects of their criminality.
“Many cannabis farms also bypass their electricity – creating a dangerous fire hazard. No-one wants to live near that which is why we, along with our partners, are committed to tackling this type of criminality in the North East.
“If you see anything suspicious in your community, please let police know. Your information could result in us bringing effective justice against criminals who are operating in your area.”
If you see anything suspicious in your community, always report it to police or in an emergency, or if a crime is taking place, always ring 999.

The Players Newcastle United could/should sign from Saudi

Newcastle United has received a green light to pursue players from the Saudi Pro League after a proposed Premier League vote to restrict loan moves between clubs with shared owners fell short of the required support. This decision opens up possibilities for Newcastle to strengthen their squad in January, targeting talents from clubs linked with Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund. Despite initial discussions to potentially bar such transfers, the recent vote outcome has cleared the way for Newcastle to explore signings.

A recent meeting among the Premier League’s 20 clubs concluded without the necessary majority support to impose a ban on loan transfers between co-owned clubs. While 13 teams voted in favor of the prohibition, the requirement of 14 votes for approval was not met, granting Newcastle the liberty to pursue players from the Saudi Pro League.
This development particularly benefits Newcastle’s pursuit of Al Hilal midfielder Ruben Neves, whom they’ve eyed as a potential replacement for Sandro Tonali. Neves, despite significant interest from the Premier League, is expected to remain with Al Hilal during the upcoming January transfer window. The Athletic’s David Ornstein reports that despite ongoing speculation, Neves is content and settled at Al Hilal, playing a pivotal role within the team. His projected stay until the season’s end indicates his commitment to Al Hilal’s cause, especially crucial following Neymar’s injury.
Although ties between Newcastle and Al Hilal, sharing the same majority shareholder in Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund (PIF), sparked concerns about potential rule changes, as of now, no alterations have been enforced. Speculation regarding a Premier League vote to block such moves in the winter market hasn’t materialized into action. Consequently, Neves looks set to continue his journey with Al Hilal, with no reported negotiations or approaches from interested parties.
Al Hilal’s impressive position atop the Saudi Pro League standings, coupled with their progress in tournaments like the AFC Champions League and the King’s Cup, further solidifies Neves’ integral role within the team. Their dominance, evident in their substantial lead over second-place Al Nassr, underscores their strength even with the latter boasting talents like Cristiano Ronaldo.
Ultimately, Newcastle’s access to the Saudi Pro League remains unimpeded, potentially paving the way for significant acquisitions in the upcoming transfer window.
Al-Hilal
- Ruben Neves
- Sergej Milinkovic-Savic
- Aleksandr Mitrovic
Al-Nassr
- Seko Fofana
- Marcelo Brozovic
- Aymeric Laporte
Al-Ittihad
- N’Golo Kante
- Fabinho
- Jota
Al-Ahly

FA take action against Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta over “disgrace” comments

The Football Association has taken a stand against Arsenal’s manager, Mikel Arteta, for his contentious remarks following Arsenal’s 1-0 defeat to Newcastle. Arteta’s strong criticisms of the officiating during the match have led to action from the FA.
Arteta’s comments, wherein he labeled the officiating as a “disgrace” and expressed feeling “sick” after the defeat to Newcastle, have landed him in hot water. The FA has charged Arteta under FA Rule E3.1 for his post-match statements, alleging that they constitute misconduct by being insulting towards match officials, detrimental to the game, and bringing the game into disrepute. Arteta has until November 21 to respond to this charge.
During a post-match interview with Sky Sports, Arteta passionately criticized the officiating, emphasizing his belief that Arsenal did not deserve to lose the game due to what he deemed as clear and obvious decisions going against his team. He expressed his frustration by calling the situation embarrassing and a disgrace, defending his players and his job.
Despite widespread condemnation of Arteta’s remarks, Arsenal issued a statement less than 24 hours after the game, standing by Arteta’s comments and criticizing the refereeing and VAR errors. The club voiced support for Arteta’s post-match stance, emphasizing the need for higher officiating standards in the Premier League and urging the governing body responsible for referees to take urgent action.
Arteta’s vocal criticism and Arsenal’s subsequent support have sparked a contentious debate about the state of officiating in the league, highlighting the need for improvements to ensure fairness and credibility in football matches.
