Police who busted a cannabis factory in Nailsea found a deserted shed full of cannabis. But when they deployed an eye in the sky drone they discovered three men getting high - not by drugs but by standing on the roof.
The three illegal immigrants from Albania admitted lesser roles in cultivating a crop, which experts estimate could have yielded close on £500,000 a year. They appeared at Bristol Crown Court for sentence today (Tuesday, March 7).
Each of them pleaded guilty to being concerned in the production of cannabis. They were: Bledar Bardhi, 32, of no fixed address; Keli Bicaku, 36 today, of Berkshire Gardens in Enfield and Gerald Dosku, 26, of Kettethorpe Road in Wakefield.
