Erald Abmetaj had come into the UK from Albania and found himself with nowhere to live
A 22-year-old man said he was 'happy to be arrested' when he was found during a raid on a cannabis grow in Rochdale.
Police found that the home had been turned into a cannabis farm with various rooms containing growing equipment such as lamps, tape and foam. Minshull Street Crown Court heard how Abmetaj, who pleaded guilty 'at the first available opportunity' for being in the production of cannabis, was working in the grow in exchange 'for food and a place to stay.'
Abmetaj, who described the job as ‘miserable’, is originally from Albania and had come to the UK last year. Barrister Patrick Buckley, defending Abmetaj, told the court that Abmetaj accepts there is ‘no better place’ for him than in prison where he has enjoyed ‘privileged’ status as an interpreter while in custody. Mr Buckley went on to say that Abmetaj is willing to go home back to Albania to work at his father’s market store and ‘put this behind him’.
