Overview

• Fatos Demucaj, 34, and Daniel Kabali, 22, pleaded guilty at Bradford Crown Court on July 9 to producing cannabis and breaching their deportation orders.
• Police discovered over 600 plants during an April raid on the converted Woolston Warehouse in Bradford, with an estimated street value of about £1 million.
• Investigators found an added chimney and tampered electrical systems installed to support the large-scale grow operation in the warehouse.
• Kabali received a four-year prison term and Demucaj was sentenced to four years and three months, with each set for automatic deportation after serving half their sentences.
• The case has prompted calls for tighter coordination between law enforcement and immigration authorities to prevent deported offenders from re-entering the UK.
