Two men have been charged after a "large cannabis grow" was found in a former butcher's on a main town centre shopping street.

Suffolk Police executed a warrant at the empty building on Carr Street in Ipswich on Friday.

The pair, in their 20s, were arrested and charged with production of a controlled class B drug.

Both appeared at Ipswich Magistrates' Court on Saturday where they were remanded in custody and told to reappear at Ipswich Crown Court on 20 January.
