Three men stand accused of cultivating thousands of pounds worth of cannabis at an Oxfordshire farm.

Christopher Bridges, 29, of City Road, Reading, Dino Sofroniou, 21, of Routh Lane, Reading, and Jason Warrick, 30, of Woods Road, Reading, all deny growing and possessing cannabis plants with intent to supply.

Bridges and Sofroniou are also charged with possessing heroin and amphetamines with intent to supply.

Oxford Crown Court heard today how, on January 19 last year, police officers discovered large numbers of cannabis plants worth more than £100,000 at nurseries at Manor Farm, Frilford Heath, near Abingdon, said Paul Reid, prosecuting.

Heroin with a street value of about £125,000 was also found, he added.

The trial continues.
