Gnome firm was cover for cannabis factory

A man who turned to growing cannabis at his garden gnome business after it started to struggle has been jailed for two years. Jason Lee, 42, aroused suspicion after a £70,000 electricity bill went to his landlords, Flintshire council, instead. Lee, of Rhyl, Denbighshire, admitted producing cannabis worth nearly £100,000, at Mold Crown Court. The judge, Mr Recorder John Jenkins QC, accepted Lee regretted his actions but said his operation was "sophisticated". The court heard council officials were already suspicious about Lee's garden ornaments business due to the locks, security lighting and CCTV he had installed.
