A man who was found in a property with five separate rooms used for growing cannabis claimed he only worked there because of threats to his family.
Adrian Voci, 25, appeared in Liverpool Crown Court on Thursday after spending seven months in custody. A court heard that on the evening of August 15, 2022, police executed a search warrant at Park Road South, Newton-Le-Willows, where upon arrival they could see ventilation systems through the window and could smell cannabis.
A man, Voci, could be seen upstairs using a torch, and after police knocked, he came to the door before realising who it was and running upstairs. He was told to open the door but refused.
