UK: Cannabis 'gardener' is jailed

---
A MAN who tended 750 plants at a huge cannabis factory in a Coventry
house has been jailed for 15 months.

And Qiang Wang, aged 23, faces deportation back to China on his release.

As the occupier of the property, in Washbrook Lane, Allesley, he faced
charges of knowingly permitting the premises to be used for the
production of cannabis, being concerned with the production of cannabis,
and the production of cannabis.

Police searched the house on January 6 and found 123 plants in a
reception room, 98 mature plants in a bedroom, a further 82 in another
room and 448 seedlings in a box bedroom.

Prosecutor Paul Baty told Coventry Crown Court that Wang had answered a
job advert in a publication in Birmingham's Chinese quarter. He was told
to act as a cleaner and not to open the door to anybody.

Mr Baty said a forensic report described it as "a large scale but not a
sophisticated operation."

He added: "The defendant was not the ringleader."

Christopher Jones, defending, said: "He was not the tenant of the
premises. He was more like a gardener or caretaker of the property."

An order was made for the plants to be destroyed.
