Ergys and Dorjan Dautaj, both 24, appeared at Swansea Crown Court on Monday, April 28, after pleading guilty to cannabis production.

They were both inside a house on Swansea Road in Trebanos when tactical search teams forced entry on February 13.

The two men smashed their way up through the roof of the house and risked their lives by jumping onto a neighbouring roof as they tried to get away, but moments later they surrendered themselves to officers who had surrounded the house.

Cannabis plants in varying stages of growth were discovered growing throughout the house which had been dangerously modified to grow the drug.

Osman Sallaku, 21, was arrested at a nearby address on the same day during what was a co-ordinated police warrant, and he appeared to be sentenced alongside them.

Ergys Dautaj was jailed for two years. Dorjan Dautaj and Osman Sallaku were both jailed for 12 months.

South Wales Police say Dautaj and Sallaku were among 12 people arrested during Operation Millie which took place throughout in February, 2024. Warrants were executed across south Wales, including in Swansea, Cardiff and the South Wales valleys, during what was the third phase of a national effort to disrupt organised crime groups, involving forces across Wales and England.
