Undercover officers swooped in and arrested two men, Orgest Bobo (26) and Edison Kuka (30), believed to be managing the large-scale “slavery” drug plant. They were caught red-handed at the disused Carmarthenshire Tyre Services warehouse with almost 600 cannabis plants! 🌿

The site was found to be set up with sophisticated equipment including water tanks and prime insulation to maximise cannabis growth. Talk about serious gardening! 🌱

Both Bobo and Kuka were sentenced to two years in prison at Swansea Crown Court. They entered the UK illegally earlier this year, hoping for a fresh start, but ended up caught in this criminal plot. 😬

In court, one of the defendants reportedly admitted that his involvement could be seen as ‘slavery’, revealing the desperate circumstances that led them down this path. It’s a stark reminder of the complex web of illegal activities and human exploitation. πŸ•ΈοΈ

The street value of the seized cannabis is set to shake up local drug rings. It’s a big win for Dyfed-Powys Police, but a sobering story showing the harsh realities behind such operations. πŸ’°πŸ”
