UK: Colchester cannabis farmer helped grow £75k crop in Ipswich

A CANNABIS farmer who helped to grow plants with a potential maximum yield of up to £75,000 has been jailed for 34 months.

Klizman Marku was stopped by police as he was driving an uninsured car on the A12 at Capel St Mary in June and appeared nervous, Ipswich Crown Court heard.

He was on his phone when he was stopped by police and had shouted something in Albanian.

He was detained and when officers looked at his phone they saw a video of someone holding a large amount of cannabis.

A location tag on the video led police to a property in Norwich Road, Ipswich, and when police entered the premises with a key found on Marku they found 52 cannabis plants being grown in the basement.

The room had been kitted out with 50 lighting units, four fan units and a filtration unit and in another room police found 97 pots of recently harvested plants.
