A "homeless" trusted "lieutenant" who oversaw a number of cannabis farms is on the run from justice.
Rebar Jalil, 34, was trusted to care for a number of cannabis plants at properties across Leeds. Jalil lived at a number of different addresses across the city but was caught out and arrested while wearing designer - or counterfeit - clothes.
On Friday at Leeds Crown Court he was jailed for five years but Recorder of Leeds Judge Guy Kearl KC did this in his absence as it was heard Jalil had absconded. The court heard details of a number of different farms found at locations linked to Jalil.
