A dad caught with a £98,000 worth of cannabis in a Lanarkshire house says he was forced to look after it by London gangsters.
Edgaras Kurganovas had 228 plants and multiple bags of the drug when police raided the property in Larkhall. Hamilton Sheriff Court heard on Monday that officers were acting on intelligence when they arrived at the house in Ayr Road.
When they forced their way inside they found the class B drug being cultivated in multiple rooms, the Daily Record reports. Debt-ridden Kurganovas pled guilty to producing cannabis and being concerned in it's supply in September 2019, after being paid to live at the house by criminals.
