Cannabis grower throws soil at police as officers break into farm

A cannabis gardener threw soil at police when his plants were discovered by officers in the early hours of October 2022, newly-released footage shows.

Flamur Keca, 25, of Rufford Avenue, Mansfield, hid in the loft during the raid.

Nottinghamshire Police said they found more than 350 plants growing across four rooms in the property.

Keca was charged with cultivating Class B drugs – something he later pleaded guilty to in court.

He was sentenced to one year in prison at Nottingham Crown Court on Monday, 9 September.
