Following a Thames Valley Police investigation, two men have been jailed for producing drugs in High Wycombe.
Nikel Shani, aged 26, and Zamir Skendreaj, aged 35, both of Palmers Green, London, were sentenced to three years and two months in prison at Amersham Crown Court on Friday.
A jury found them guilty of one count each of producing a controlled drug of class B – cannabis and abstract/use electricity without authority.
At around 9am on 11 November last year, officers forced entry to an address in Malmers Well Road after reports it was being used to produce cannabis.

Officers arrested Shani and Skendreaj after they ran into the garden.
A total of 98 cannabis plants of varying stages of growth were located as well as items used in the production of cannabis.
Shani and Skendreaj were charged on 12 November last year.
Detective Constable Joe Openshaw, based at High Wycombe police station, said: "We will not tolerate cannabis production on our patch.
"Two offenders have now been brought to justice following a tip-off from a member of the public and our robust investigation.
“Shani and Skendreaj tried to make off from police when they were caught inside the house producing cannabis.
“There were 98 plants located inside the property which were seized and destroyed.
“There were also messages on one of their phones demonstrating their involvement in an operation to produce cannabis, which they had a key role in.
“This address was located in a residential area and had been causing significant issues to the neighbouring properties so I’m pleased we have resolved that for those residents.
“Through our Stronghold campaign, we will always pursue those people who seek to profit from selling drugs, carrying out detailed investigations, and bringing offenders to justice.
“If you are concerned about drug-related crime in your area or have any information about it, please call us on 101, or 999 in an emergency.
“You can also report online or contact Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.”
