A Wakefield cannabis farmer “easily recruited” by criminal gangs has said he wants to be deported when he is eventually released.

Officers raided the property on Ashdown Road on March 13 and found 119 plants across the four floors of the property. They also found a large amount of cash on the kitchen table, while the electricity had been bypassed in a bid to disguise the operation.

There was also cannabis cuttings strewn around the building suggesting a successful previous harvest.
