A man who used four bedrooms and two outbuildings to grow almost £400,000 worth of cannabis has been jailed for a year.
A man who used four bedrooms and two outbuildings to grow almost £400,000 worth of cannabis has been jailed for a year.
Ilir Aga, 37, filled his four bedroom house in Fordham Road, Newmarket, with cannabis plants and was operating a "sophisticated operation."
However, officers conducted a drugs warrant on April 25 and found the haul filling every bedroom and two outbuildings.
He pleaded guilty to producing a class B drug at Cambridge Crown Court on December 2 and was sentenced to a year in prison.
PC Alan Tregilgas said: "This was a sophisticated operation that would have put a lot of cannabis on the streets. I am pleased we have managed to disrupt this and that Aga has been jailed.
"I hope this sends a clear message that we will work hard to find and destroy cannabis farms and put the people behind them before the courts.
"If you suspect somebody is involved in drug production or dealing, you can report it to us online at www.cambs.police.uk/Report or calling 101. Always call 999 in an emergency."
