A single charge of cultivating cannabis at Broomhill in Portadown on October 4 last year was put to the defendant, Bao Vu Hoang, whose address was listed as Alfred Street in Belfast, via a Chinese interpreter.
A prosecutor submitted that based on the papers before the court there is a prima facie case which was conceded by the defendant’s barrister, Mr Joel Lindsay.
Deputy District Judge Sean O’Hare said he is satisfied there is sufficient evidence to send the case to the Crown Court.
The defendant declined to say anything or to submit anything in writing in relation to the charge.
Hoang was sent for trial to Craigavon Crown Court with arraignment to be held on September 8 this year.
