Adrian Ballhysa, aged 29, from Wolverhampton, ran out of the back door of the end-terrace house in Telford when officers executed a search warrant, finding 158 plants.

The property in Blakemore, Brookside, at which Ballhysa kept a guard dog to protect the illegal drugs, had been transformed into a cannabis factory, with lighting to aid growth and the electricity meter by-passed.

When officers raided the house on April 18, 2021, Ballhysa's accomplices - Xhedar Cani, aged 31, and 27-year-old Vito Scotese - leapt from bedroom windows upstairs to try to evade capture.

However, the law caught up with all three men.
