Two men have been jailed after police uncovered a cannabis farm worth an estimated £1.7m in Dundee.

Detectives executed search warrants in Lorne Street and Ash Street in the city on January 8, 2024, where approximately 3,000 cannabis plants were found.

On Tuesday at Dundee Sheriff Court, Indrit Saraci, 27, was sentenced to three years and nine months while Adiol Hila, 37, was jailed for three years and four months.

Detective constable Luke Doogan said: “Drugs can have a devastating impact on people and this demonstrates our determination to getting these harmful substances out of our communities and holding those involved in their supply accountable.

“It also highlights our continued commitment to the Serious Organised Crime Taskforce and the country’s Serious and Organised Crime Strategy.

“Support from members of the public is absolutely vital to our work and we would continue to urge people to look out for the usual signs of cannabis cultivations and report any concerns to us.

“We will continue to use every tool and tactic at our disposal to deter this activity and protect our communities from the harm illegal drugs can cause.”
