A 27-year-old man is to stand trial after he denied producing cannabis at a house in Worcester.

Loc Nguyen, who followed proceedings at Worcester Crown Court through a Vietnamese interpreter, pleaded not guilty to producing a class B drug between July 11 and August 13 this year.

He also pleaded not guilty to damaging the interior of the house in Wyld's Lane and to abstracting electricity. He admitted having a false United Kingdom passport.

Nguyen was further remanded in custody to the start of a trial, expected to last two days and scheduled to start in January next year.
