Detective Constable Nixon said: "On Thursday, February 27, 2025, police carried out a search of a residential property at Menapian Way in Enniskillen and located 111 cannabis plants growing in four rooms, along with evidence of cultivating equipment such as fans, lighting and watering systems.
"Police arrested Ramaskevicus at the property and, following extensive enquiries, identified Zavisa as a second suspect. On June 11, 2025, he was arrested at the M22, Antrim. On this date he was also detected driving a motor vehicle with no insurance.
“This sentencing shows that police remain committed to disrupting the activities of those involved with criminality and drug-related activity.
