Two men have been jailed for running a cannabis farm in Littlehampton.
Acting on intelligence, officers from the West Sussex Tactical Enforcement Unit (TEU) attended a unit in Riverside Industrial Estate, Bridge Road at around 3.45pm on Friday, 12 January.
More than 1,000 plants were found and seized, along with equipment which is used for the cultivation of cannabis.
Officers quickly arrested two men at the back of the premises in connection with the farm.
Donat Kurtaj, 30, of no fixed address and Walter Ulndreaj, 26, of no fixed address admitted to the cultivation of cannabis and were sentenced to six months’ imprisonment and 14 months’ imprisonment respectively when they appeared before Lewes Crown Court on 11 April.
When their sentences conclude, their immigration status will be reviewed by the Immigration Service.
The drugs were also destroyed.
