Huge cannabis factory found in Hull house

A LUCRATIVE AND 'MASSIVE' OPERATION

- By PETER CRAIG

POLICE found a huge haul of 842 cannabis plants that were potentially capable of producing drugs worth “hundreds of thousands of pounds” as part of a lucrative and “massive” commercial operation.

The plants were spread across seven rooms at a house in Strickland Street, Hull, and two men were in charge of looking after them at the secret cannabis factory, a court heard.

Armando Hidri, 31, of Bellingdon Road, Chesham, Buckinghamshire, and Alfred Gjika, 43, of no fixed address, admitted being involved in the production of cannabis between October 1 and December 30. Hidri also admitted acquiring criminal property.
