These are the faces of just some of the criminals to face justice in Suffolk during the first month of 2021.
Bradley Derosa and John Falzon
Bradley Derosa, 49, of Hook End, Brentwood, and John Falzon, 31, of Mashiters Hill, Romford, arrested following the discovery of a commercial scale cannabis factory in a Suffolk barn, were given jail sentences totalling more than 11 years.

Inside the barn, they discovered 281 cannabis plants which could have potentially yielded cannabis with a street value of between £50,000 and £150,000.
