A huge cannabis farm being looked after by three illegal Albanian immigrants was discovered when police found a live stream of the drugs factory.
When Edison Sulanjaku was arrested after a drug deal in the West End of Newcastle, officers saw an app playing CCTV footage of the cannabis farm on his mobile phone. That led them to an industrial scale drugs factory, with almost 2,000 plants worth more than £800,000, which had been set up by a criminal gang at a unit in Dunston, Gateshead.
Now Sulanjaku, who had a "supervisory" role and "gardeners" Besnik Cela and Xhenifer Muca, have been jailed at Newcastle Crown Court and were warned they will be deported after serving their sentences.
