A court has heard a Byron Bay manâs personal cannabis plants were only discovered by police because a pursuit of two other people led officers right to his door.
Marco Alexander Menna, 34, faced Byron Bay Local Court on Monday.
He pleaded guilty to a single charge of cultivating a prohibited plant.
According to court documents, police were pursuing two males wanted over an unrelated incident late on the night of Thursday, February 11 this year when the pair entered Mennaâs Byron Bay home.
Police knocked and could hear people inside, but received no response, so they went around the side of the house, where eight cannabis plants were growing in a garden bed.
