Two men were found living in the kitchen region of a West Yorkshire distribution center

where nearly £1million worth of pot had been developed.

The plants - which yielded a load of somewhere in the range of 50kg and 100kg

- were found by police executing a court order at the previous manufacturing plant in Malvern Street, Knottingley on November 14 last year. Officials found

"a distribution center that was many rooms and each room had been gone over to the creation of pot,"

examiner Carmel Pearson told Leeds Crown Court on Friday.

Ms Pearson added: "There was extraction

Hardware, lighting and it appears to be a huge

Number of plants found. Not simply in the

Initial segment of the modern unit officials entered

In any case, in a large number of rooms, into a space north of one of

The rooms also."

In the kitchen region, police found four beds, food in a cooler and "it was clear these were the living quarters." Three men were

Seen running and two men - Zef Gjoka, 35, and Dritan Mrozi, 33,

were gotten. Ms Pearson said 11,010 plants were found, with a road worth of just shy of £1million.

She said the hardware was worth around £30,000. Gjoka and Mrozi - both Albanian public - were captured,

talked with and confessed to creation of pot at a supplication, preliminary and planning hearing.

Alleviating for Gjoka, Andrew Stranex, told the court he had been allowed into the nation by line force in August last year and worked in

London as a decorator. He said the wedded father's work "evaporated

" and "he went to individuals who offered him the chance to work and he was brought to this region and the unit we are familiar at this point."

Mr Stranex said the pot ranch was at that point set up before Gjoka was taken to it. He said:

"He acknowledges that what he did was off-base yet considered it to be an open door and an opportunity to work on his everyday's life.

It is his expectation when he has carried out his punishment to get back to his family in Albania."

Mrozi had come to the UK for work

The court heard the guard of current subjugation was brought up in the lower court

also, following an examination by the Work space, it was found it didn't remain in that frame of mind of Gjoka. Ms Pearson said:

"On account of his co-blamed there is by all accounts some strength in the contention that there was some component he was constrained

into the nation however the crown take the view not to continue regardless."

Moderating for Mrozi, Harry Crowson, said his client had a sibling and father at home in Albania. He said he played a lesser part

furthermore, he "arrived at this country with the expectation of tracking down work and getting a superior life." Mr Crowson said:

"He's a development laborer and had the aim of utilizing his material experience. Without any a work license he couldn't do as such. He's surrendered to returning home to his loved ones."

Recorder Alex Menary imprisoned Gjoka for quite some time and Mrozi for more than two years. They

Will carry out portion of that punishment prior to being delivered on permit locally.
