Cannabis plantation woman remanded

A THIRTY one year old woman who was arrested following a drugs raid on her house in Brae was remanded in custody when she appeared in private before Lerwick Sheriff Court, on Friday.

Rachel Alice Holmes, of 9 Burgadale, made no plea or declaration. She was committed for further examination, and is expected to reappear before the court next week.

She had been arrested on Thursday after police discovered one of the islands’ largest ever cannabis plantations at her address.

Officers said that the plants seized had the potential to yield illegal drugs worth around £30,000 if sold on the street.
