A 32-year-old man has admitted to production of cannabis in Irvine.

Darren Wilde, of Auchenhove Crescent in Kilbirnie, appeared at Kilmarnock Sheriff Court last week from custody and pled guilty to an alternative charge under the Misuse of Drugs Act.

On September 16 of last year, Wilde produced a controlled drug, namely cannabis, at Herbertson Cescent.

The case was adjourned for reports and for other matters calling until July 31.

Wilde was granted bail and ordained to appear back at court on that date.
