A couple used a secret door linking their two attics together to run a large scale cannabis farm.
When police raided the homes of Jamie Fahy, 38, and Donna Jones, 41, they found 135 cannabis plants with a potential street value of £170,100. Liverpool Crown Court heard on Monday, May 16, how the cannabis was being grown for “onward wholesale supply” and there were incriminating messages on their mobile showing the sophisticated enterprise.
Jones’ meter was by-passed to power the operation and £239,000 worth of electricity had been illegally used over the eight months before the raid. But a judge let both Fahy and Jones walk free from the dock.
