MAPPERLEY: Three men charged after cannabis plants found in abandoned historic cinema building

Three men have appeared in court after police discovered a large cannabis grow inside an abandoned historic cinema building in Mapperley.

Officers found more than 280 plants when they executed a warrant at the property, in Woodborough Road last Wednesday (3) around 7am.

Three men were detained by neighbourhood policing team officers at the address.

Kevin Charles, aged 38, Nicolae Dumitru, aged 34, and 26-year-old David Moore, all of no fixed abode, appeared at Nottingham Magistrates’ Court on Friday (5 April) and were remanded in custody until their next appearance at Nottingham Crown Court on 3 May.

Inspector Steve Dalby, neighbourhood policing inspector for Nottingham South, said: “This was a large cannabis grow and there was evidence in the building that it was being extended further.

“Cannabis production on this scale can cause numerous problems for people living in the area, including risk of fire, criminals attempting to break in and steal the crop and other associated crime.

“The neighbourhood team works hard to solve problems within our communities by targeting activity at local people’s priorities.

“As ever, though, we need your help. I’m grateful to members of the public who have provided us with the information needed to take positive action in this instance and I’d urge anyone who believes cannabis is being grown in their neighbourhood to let us know.”

Police said that all the cannabis seized from the address will be destroyed and the equipment used to power the grow removed.

DARTS: Gedling Club crowned champions again

Lowdham & District Village Mens Dart League RESULTS April 3

The Gedling Club showed their quality by winning again in round 17 to retain their title with a 4 – 2 win against Lowdham’s Old Ship, a win that put them four points clear with one round to play.

At the same time as the Gedling Club were disposing of the Old Ship the CWMC suffered a heavy defeat at home to The Gleaners ‘A’ in a derby match dropping them to third place.

The top three teams continue to show they are best in the league and are in the the same order, with one round to play, as the final league finishing positions from 2022/23, however it has been a lot closer this year with only four points currently covering the top three as opposed to nine points splitting the three last year – Gedling Club 26pts, Gleaners 20pts and CWMC 17pts.

Although the final round of league matches are a dead rubber, the Captain and Secretary title will still go down to the wire.

The Knock Out Cup semi finals saw both Calverton clubs exit the competition as The Green Dragon beat The Gleaners ‘A’ and The Gedling Club beating The Admiral Rodney setting up a Gedling Club – Green Dragon final.

Finals & Presentation night is at 7.00pm on Friday April 19 at The Calverton Working Men’s Club. Raffle prizes will be gratefully excepted.

New players and teams are always welcome and with seven of the ten teams based in the borough it’s a great way to spend your Wednesday evening. If you want to get involved or learn more, you can visit the league Facebook page here .

Morrisons plans to install thousands of AI-powered cameras to help staff fill supermarket shelves faster

Morrisons plans to install thousands of AI-powered cameras to help staff fill supermarket shelves faster

Morrisons plans to install thousands of AI-powered cameras across its UK stores by the end of the year in a bid to help staff fill shelves faster.

The grocer, which has a store in Netherfield, teamed up with Seattle-based AI company Focal Systems for the trial, which saw cameras being installed that provide real-time data on shopfront stock availability, with the ability to automate decisions such as merchandising, ordering and pricing.

Following the success of the trial, the Bradford-based grocer now hopes to install AI cameras in all of its 500 stores before the end of the year, reports The Grocer.

The title says that Morrisons has seen significant rises in availability scores in stores where the technology has been tested, suggesting that it could free up staff to prioritise customer service.

Since arriving last September, chief executive Rami Baitieh has transformed the fortunes of the supermarket giant, who reported its strongest like-for-like sales growth in three years during a trading update for the first quarter. It saw like-for-like sales, excluding fuel, soar 4.6% from a 0.1% rise the year before. Total sales excluding fuel were up by 3.9% to £3.9bn.

Baitieh believes improving availability is a key part of transforming his stores.

He said: “In January I outlined our plan to reinvigorate, refresh and strengthen Morrisons as we started our next chapter.”

“Those plans are now in full swing with the whole business engaged in the three key pillars of work that will be the foundation of the future for Morrisons: commercial excellence, operations optimisation and new value creation.”

In the past other technology rollouts at the retail giant have been centred around security, including the deployment of moving ‘RoboCop’ style security cameras that sparked a backlash from shoppers.
