Man jailed after being found hiding in cannabis farm cupboard in Swansea
542 plants were discovered during a police raid
A man has been sentenced to eight months in prison after police discovered him hiding in a cupboard during a raid on a cannabis farm in Swansea.
Antonjo Kodheli, 42, who has no fixed address, was found when officers searched a property on Bryn Y Môr Crescent in the Uplands area.
Police uncovered 539 cannabis plants spread across eight rooms within the house.
Kodheli admitted to being involved in the production of a Class B controlled drug.
Police Reaction
Sergeant Luke Tucker addressed the ongoing issue of illegal drug operations in Swansea.
“It is incredibly disappointing to continually find that addresses in Swansea have been used to conduct illegal activities including drug cultivation."
“Antonjo Kodheli is the latest in a long line of people who have found that entering the illegal drug trade is not all it cracked up to be."
"While some may argue that there are more dangerous drugs, the money generated by cannabis farms is very commonly then funnelled towards even more serious criminal activity, and that is why we will always take action."
