A HADDINGTON man caught producing cannabis at his home has been ordered to pay a fine.

Karel Kucera was found to be growing the Class B drug at his home at the town’s Letham Mains Holdings last year.

Kucera, 51, was arrested and charged with the production of the drug and he appeared in the dock at Edinburgh Sheriff Court to plead guilty to the charge last week.

Sheriff John Cook imposed a fine of £520 to mark the offence.

Kucera pleaded guilty to producing cannabis at his home address on February 17 last year.
