A woman who was ‘cuckooed’ by criminals into growing a cannabis farm at her home has avoided jail. Sarah Parr, 34, fled her home following issues of domestic violence from her ex-partner, and was ‘pressured’ into allowing the drugs to be grown in her flat.
After police executed a search warrant at her home, they found 48 cannabis plants, along with various drug paraphernalia. Officers also recovered wraps of cocaine and heroin, a court heard.
Two men were seen trying to flee the house, one of which was later identified as Aden Hilton, 33. The other man had no further action taken against him. Following a search of Hilton’s phone, messages showing drug dealing were recovered.
