Two men have denied growing a suspected large-scale cannabis factory allegedly found in the basement of a Burton building.
Oksel Menaj, 30, of Park Avenue, Ashbourne, and Besnik Hoxha, 36, of Granville Street, Woodville, have appeared at Southern Derbyshire Magistrates' Court charged with the production of cannabis. They denied the charge.

Officers found a substantial amount of what was thought to be cannabis plants at the property.
The pair are due appear Derby Crown Court on Monday, January 15, to stand trial.
They answer unconditional bail until they next appear at the crown court.
