Two men jailed over Ipswich cannabis farm
Police found numerous plants at an address in the town
Two men from London have been jailed for their part in a cannabis farm in Ipswich.
It comes after police stopped a vehicle in Dunlop Road, Ipswich on 14th February.
Intelligence officers gathered from the stop then linked a passenger in the vehicle, 25-year-old Aleksander Gjoni, with an address in Cullingham Road in the town.
Officers later saw another man visit the address and put filled bin bags into his vehicle.
When the vehicle was later stopped, police found the bags contained numerous cannabis plants.
They arrested the driver, 31-year-old Nikolin Marku.
The force then searched the Cullingham Road property, and found a cannabis farm.
Gjoni was arrested at the property.
Aleksander Gjoni, 25, of Vicars Bridge Close, Wembley, Greater London, and Nikolin Marku, 31, of Victoria Road in London were subsequently charged with production of a Class B drug (cannabis) and being concerned in the supply of cannabis.
Both pleaded guilty before being sentenced at Ipswich Crown Court on Wednesday 28th August.
Marku was sentenced to three years’ imprisonment, while Gjoni was handed a nine-month sentence.
