A man paid £100 a day to maintain a cannabis farm inside a terraced house tried to hide from police by climbing onto the roof, a court has heard. Etmond Lika, 32, was brought from Albania and put in the house where he was tasked with looking after cannabis plants as they grew.
On February 24 this year, a locksmith was asked to change the locks at a property, reports The Echo. Christopher Hopkins, prosecuting, said: “He noticed what he thought was a cannabis installation at the property and called the police. He thought someone was inside.”
Police searched the property and found 200 cannabis plants growing in six rooms that over the six rooms in what was described as “plainly a sophisticated operation”.
