Officers informed Western Power Distribution who stopped the supply and made the property safe.
Nuhiallri, of Burslem, pleaded guilty to being concerned in the production of a controlled drug of class B - cannabis. He was handed a six-month sentence and ordered to pay a victim surcharge of £154. The plants were seized and destroyed.
PC Lucy Young, the officer in charge of the case, said: “I’m pleased Nuhiallri was handed a custodial sentence for his offending and that we were able to disrupt the production and supply of cannabis in Stoke-on-Trent with his prosecution.”
