A man has been jailed after he was found by police hiding inside a cupboard during a raid on a cannabis farm.

Antonjo Kodhelwas, 42, was found by police at the property on Bryn Y Môr Crescent, Uplands, Swansea.

Police found a total of 539 plants across eight rooms at the address.

Kodhelwas, of no fixed abode, appeared in Swansea Crown Court on Friday where he was sentenced to eight months in prison.

He had pleaded guilty to one charge of being concerned in the production of a Class B controlled drug.

Sgt Luke Tucker, of South Wales Police, said the property had been “continually” used to “conduct illegal activities including drug cultivation”.

“While some may argue that there are more dangerous drugs, the money generated by cannabis farms is very commonly then funnelled towards even more serious criminal activity, and that is why we will always take action,” he added.
