A GRANDFATHER escaped an immediate prison sentence despite police finding that his home had been converted into a cannabis factory.
Brian Hughes was found with 28 cannabis plants and over £11,000 worth of the drug at his home in Lea Lane near Ross-on-Wye.
In a written statement, the 42-year-old said he had been threatened into growing the drug after owing money to a loan shark.
Harpreet Sandhu, prosecuting, said that on April 14, police were on routine patrol at 3am in the Ross-on-Wye area when they smelt cannabis outside the defendants house.
When they approached Hughes he said: “I’m in so much trouble, I have a big set-up inside. I was just trying to sell it to get rid of my debt.”
Officers were shown inside his house when they found two rooms converted for cannabis cultivation with a third used as a ‘drying area’.
