THE son of magician Paul Daniels appeared in court yesterday charged with drugs offences.

Paul Newton Daniels, of Northgate, Hartlepool, appeared before magistrates charged with growing cannabis worth £89,000 in his back garden.

He did not enter a plea and was remanded on conditional bail until September 19.

Police allegedly found the 89 cannabis plants at his home on June 29.
