Two men jailed for producing cannabis in Warwickshire
Police found more than 500 plants at the house in Ryton
Two men have been jailed, after police uncovered a huge cannibis grow in Ryton, Warwickshire.
Officers from Rugby’s proactive CID team searched the property on Oxford Road on 29 August, after a tip off.
From the outside they could smell cannabis and see visible vents on the roof while inside fans could be heard and the electricity appeared to have been bypassed.
Two men – Jednor Lleshi, 25, and Mariglend Cela, 27 were arrested after 500 plants were discovered.
The pair pleaded guilty to being concerned in the production of a class B drug at an earlier hearing in October.
And appearing at Warwick Crown Court on Monday (20 November), Lleshi, of Rotton Park Road, Edgbaston was jailed for 32 weeks. Cela, of no fixed abode, was handed a six month jail sentence.
Detective Constable Becky Naughton said: “Drugs are a very real threat, and we will continue to do all we can to bring offenders to justice and remove that threat from our communities.
“We continue to use our powers on a daily basis to disrupt the activities of those who are producing, dealing and using drugs as well as proactively targeting those we believe to be involved in drugs.
