A WALTHAM Chase villager was caught cultivating nine cannabis plants last September.

Nattallia Arianne James, 35, of Waltham Chase, pleaded guilty to the charge.

Magistrates imposed a two-month curfew for her to be electronically tagged at home between 8pm to 6am.

James was also ordered to pay a £95 victim surcharge and £85 costs. The plants will be destroyed.
