An Albanian man who entered the UK illegally on two separate occasions has been jailed after he was found at a cannabis farm worth thousands.
Endrit Neza tended to around 300 cannabis plants - which had a potential value of between £28,000 to £120,000 - at an address in Newcastle. The 30-year-old, who returned to England after being deported in 2017, was arrested after police raided a property on Malvain Avenue on August 24 this year and found the cannabis farm.
Neza, of no fixed address, appeared at Newcastle Crown Court on Wednesday to be sentenced for production of cannabis. He had pleaded guilty to the charge and required an interpreter throughout proceedings.
