An 18-year-old man has been charged after cannabis plants with an estimated value of £48,500 were found during a police raid in Hull, as first reported by the Yorkshire Post.

A warrant under the Misuse of Drugs Act was executed at an address on Hall Road on the morning of Thursday 5 November 2026. According to the report, officers forced entry and found a large quantity of cannabis plants, which were seized.

Charge and court appearance

Aldi Pecmarkaj, 18, of Hall Road, Hull, has been charged with production of a Class B drug. He was remanded to appear at court. The report does not say which court he will appear before, on what date, or whether he has entered a plea. He is accused of the offence and the case has yet to be heard.

The £48,500 figure is an estimate of the plants’ value, as given in the report. The sources do not say how many plants were recovered or how the police valued them.

Background

Cannabis is a Class B drug under the Misuse of Drugs Act 1971. Production of a controlled drug is a separate offence from possession, and cases of this kind are normally heard first in a magistrates’ court before being sent to the Crown Court where appropriate.

The report does not name the police force involved, though the raid took place in Hull, which falls within the Humberside Police area. Further details of the investigation have not been published.
