Drug dealing thugs dug 'secret cellars' under Yorkshire homes to hide £500k pot
A gang of drug dealers dug up the bottom of houses in Yorkshire and created secret cellars which they used to set up a "sophisticated" cannabis grow.
But, their luck ran out on July 7 last year , when officers from West Yorkshire Police and the immigration service who had been observing addresses in Bradford, Keighley, Leeds and Barnsley and on July 7, 2021, launched a major co-ordinated operation and searched the network of rented properties. At the homes, cannabis farms were found hidden behind false panels and trapdoors and in unsafe dugouts that had rendered properties dangerously unstable. At a house on Kellett Lane, Lower Wortley, they discovered more than £30,000 worth of harvested cannabis and 64 plants which would have yielded £57,000 on the streets.
In September this year, five men were given jail sentences totalling more than 18 years for their roles in the cannabis-growing operation. Andrit Toci, 33, and Revi Shehu, 25, were each jailed for 12 months for working as cannabis gardeners after they admitted producing cannabis.
