Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 27 Oct, 06:08 · Archive

Two men have pleaded guilty to producing cannabis at a £1 million farm in North Yorkshire.

Aldo Gjeta, 27, and Emanuel Bushi, 28, both of no fixed address, appeared at York Crown Court for a plea and case management hearing. Both pleaded guilty through an interpreter to producing cannabis. They were remanded in custody.

North Yorkshire Police discovered the cannabis growing factory in a disused industrial unit on Standard Way Industrial Estate in Northallerton in September. Officers found so many plants that they estimated it could produce enough cannabis to sell for £1 million in street deals.

Both men were arrested at the scene and remained in custody following their arrest. After their guilty pleas, they were further remanded in custody. Their cases have been adjourned until 27 November for sentencing.
