A man involved in maintaining a cannabis farm inside a house attempted to flee from police by hiding on the roof, a court has heard.
Etmond Lika, 32, of no fixed abode, appeared at Liverpool Crown Court via video link on Tuesday after pleading guilty to one count of being concerned in the production of cannabis. Christopher Hopkins, prosecuting, told the court that on February 24 this year, a locksmith was employed to change the front door lock at an address at Stanley Road, Kirkdale at around midday.
Mr Hopkins said: “He noticed what he thought was a cannabis installation at the property and called the police. “He thought someone was inside.”
