Dad racked up 'serious debts' and was put to work as 'gardener' in large scale cannabis farm

Van Nguyen travelled to the UK from his native Vietnam after racking up "serious debts" and was put to work as a "gardener" in a large scale cannabis farm. But the police ultimately caught the 43-year-old red-handed alongside hundreds of plants in the "sophisticated" factory.

Nguyen, who has no previous convictions, was arrested at the scene. Ken Heckle, defending, told the court: "The defendant is a married man with three young children. "He did not know what was going to take place in this country. He certainly did not think it was a criminal enterprise but, once in this country and with the knowledge of what he was to do, he accepts that he involved himself."
