A Paisley man who returned home to find cops had forced entry into his flat and discovered his cannabis cultivation worth £5,000 has narrowly avoided jail time.
John Cruickshanks walked into his Neilston Road property to find police officers had let themselves in due to the fact it was causing “significant damage” to the residence below.
The 38-year-old told cops he had lived at the flat for around two years but made off before they could arrest him.
