A woman turned her home into a cannabis factory after falling into a drug debt. Hayley Evans from Barry was caught in January last year when police attended her house during a search for a wanted man.
Prosecutor Kirsten Murphy told Cardiff Magistrates' Court: "The officers discovered one of the upstairs bedrooms contained 15 cannabis plants surrounded by silver lining and lighting. In the same room there were 18 discarded bags containing soil and cannabis root balls. A further eight cannabis plants were found in the attic."
The officers found a knotted plastic wrap containing 9.7g of the Class B drug in Evans' bedroom. The 48-year-old, of Maes-Yr-Ysgol, answered "no comment" to most questions in her police interview but later pleaded guilty to producing cannabis between July 2021 and January 2022.
