Man caught hiding on ROOF after police uncover cannabis farm

A man involved in maintaining a cannabis farm inside a house attempted to evade cops by hiding on the ROOF, a court has heard.

Etmond Lika, 32, of no fixed abode, climbed onto the roof of the large terraced house through a skylight after police searched the property. They found that over the six rooms inside was a cannabis growing installation, of at least 200 plants, described as “plainly a sophisticated operation”.

Police also found evidence that someone had been living there, such as food, and said there was “no doubt that was this defendant”. Lika appeared at Liverpool Crown Court via video link on Tuesday after pleading guilty to one count of being concerned in the production of cannabis, reports the Liverpool Echo.
