Illegal gardener lands in hot water! 🌿🚔
Meet Alexander Creqama, 23, who found himself in a sticky spot after tending to a massive cannabis farm in Ystradgynlais. He was caught red-handed with nearly 250 plants, potentially worth up to a staggering £214,000! 💷
Illegally in the UK after a journey from Albania, Alexander was stashed in a house dedicated to growing cannabis. The setup included five rooms packed with plants and high-tech hydroponic gear! After a police raid, he admitted to being paid £5,000 per harvest. Shocking, right?
In Cardiff Crown Court, it was revealed that Alexander had no previous criminal record but was drawn into the illicit trade, claiming he was “forced.” Despite these circumstances, he now faces 32 months behind bars.
Alexander’s defence claimed he was young and made poor choices, highlighting his attempts to better himself by learning English while in prison. 🌎📚
