A man has been jailed after Police in Peterborough found a cannabis factory worth £89,000 at his home
3\0 year old Endri Xhumari, was arrested in November after officers found 106 cannabis plants at his home in Alexandra Road, in Millfield.
Xhumari appeared at Peterborough Crown Court on Friday (6 December) where he pleaded guilty to producing cannabis and was sentenced to six months in prison.
Cambridgeshire Police say he was arrested on the morning of 7th of November after the Neighbourhood Support Team carried out a warrant at his home.
Detective Constable Joshua Crown, who investigated, said: “Cannabis factories are often linked to organised criminality, violence and anti-social behaviour – which we do not want in our communities.
“I would urge anyone who believes they might be living near a cannabis factory to report information to us.”
Key signs that a property is being used as a cannabis factory include:
- Frequent visitors at unsocial hours and throughout the day and night
- Blacked out windows or condensation on the windows, even when it is not cold outside
- Bright lights in rooms throughout the night
- Electricity meters being tampered with/altered and new cabling
- A powerful, distinctive, sweet, sticky aroma and noise from fans
- An excessive amount of plant pots, chemicals, fertilisers and compost
