Men ordered to pay back money earned from cannabis factory sales
A drug gang running a cannabis factory from within the confines of a caravan have been ordered back to court to face fines following being sentenced to serve hard time.
As previously reported here on CaravanTimes, David Bradbury and partner in crime, Adam Williamstrap, were both jailed for three and a half years and four and a half years, respectively, having built a trapdoor in a recycled caravan in order to produce cannabis in a homemade factory underground from where it was pitched.
And now, both men have been hauled into court once again to pay back a total of £35,000 from proceeds made for drug dealing, or face another year and six weeks in prison.
The conclusion of the hearing saw Williams from Spaxton, Somerset, ordered to pay back £31,370, whilst Bradbury of nearby West Bagborough, was ordered to pay back just £2,905.
The culprits’ court appearance comes following news of a stolen caravan being used as cannabis factory in Cambridgeshire. A 36-year-old man was subsequently arrested and is currently helping police with their inquiries.
It’s true to say Bradbury and Williamstrap’s underground cannabis operation was pretty innovative. Check out police video of the grow site below.
