The two grows in Grays were discovered after Rokas Alijosius, 32, of Francisco Close, Chafford Hundred, was spotted through a hidden camera outside one of the properties that police seized on April 25 this year.

Essex Police officers were alerted to reports of a firearm being seen in a vehicle in Burghley Road, Chafford Hundred, near the supermarket and close to the Lakeside shopping centre and retail parks area, at around 3pm yesterday.
