A man has been jailed after he was found hiding in a cupboard when police raided a cannabis farm in the Uplands area of Swansea.
Antonjo Kodheli, 42, of no fixed abode, was discovered inside the property on Bryn Y Môr Crescent when officers conducted a search of the address.
A total of 539 plants were found growing across eight rooms in the property.
Kodheli pleaded guilty to being concerned in the production of a controlled drug of Class B and was sentenced to eight months in prison.
A video released by South Wales Police shows the moment officers discovered Kodheli concealed in the cupboard during the raid.
Sergeant Luke Tucker said it was “incredibly disappointing” to continue finding properties in Swansea being used for illegal drug cultivation.
“Antonjo Kodheli is the latest in a long line of people who have found that entering the illegal drug trade is not all it cracked up to be,” he said. “While some may argue that there are more dangerous drugs, the money generated by cannabis farms is very commonly then funnelled towards even more serious criminal activity, and that is why we will always take action.”
