A man of Albanian origin has been sentenced in Great Britain for his role in setting up a sophisticated cannabis network over 4 years, which brought him over £500,000 in profits.

A co-ordinated operation involving West Yorkshire Police and the Immigration Service led to the jailing of five members of an Albanian drug gang last September after they set up clandestine cannabis cultivations at homes in the Bradford district and South Yorkshire.

Bradford Crown Court heard on Monday that the masterminds used false identity documents to rent houses and set up cannabis factories by digging underground spaces and using wardrobe doors to hide access to loft areas.

Erjon Xheladinaj , 33, of Aspen Grove, became the latest defendant to be jailed after pleading guilty to conspiracy to manufacture a Class B narcotic.

Last September, drug operation manager and director Klesti Gorcellari , 24, of Sundown Avenue, Bradford, was jailed for seven-and-a-half years after being convicted of conspiracy to manufacture cannabis and possession of false identity documents.

His trusted associates Isuf Roshi, 24, and Armando Sulce , 27, of Tern Street, Bradford, were jailed for five and four years respectively after also pleading guilty to the conspiracy charge.

Andrit Toci , 33 years old, and Revi Shehu, 25 years old, were each sentenced to 12 months in prison for working as cannabis gardeners. They both pleaded guilty to the charge of manufacturing cannabis. At last year's sentencing hearing, prosecutor Gerald Hendron said officers from West Yorkshire Police and the immigration service had searched addresses in Bradford, Keighley, Leeds and Barnsley and on July 7, 2021, a major co-ordinated operation took place to controlled network of rental properties.

Cannabis farms were found hidden behind false panels and doors and in unsafe pits that had made the properties dangerously unstable. He said access to the plants was through closets, under kitchen cabinets and through well-hidden passages and attic hatches.

In 2019, a police raid on a store in Leeds uncovered a £150,000 cannabis farm with some of the 275 plants hidden under a basement door. At a rented house in Thurston Garden, Bradford, officers found a cannabis farm hidden in an unstable dug-out space accessed from under the washing machine. Around £19,000 worth of cannabis plants were found at that address and a further £46,000 worth of drugs were discovered at a property in Keighley.

The court heard that plants were being grown in the attic of the Barnsley address and that the total amount of cannabis seized by officers could have a street value of almost £500,000. Prosecutor Hendron said the gang's leaders had invested a staggering amount in organizing the plot. According to the investigation, more than £45,000 was paid to hire the properties and vehicles.

The prosecutor said that the amount of 45,000 pounds did not include the necessary equipment for raising the farms, heating and watering the plants. Hendron said some of the houses had suffered serious damage, with the repair bill at the Thurston Gardens address estimated to be £18,000. The prosecution said Gorcellari had directed and organized the production of cannabis on an industrial scale and expected a substantial reward.
