Bryan Voce, a 34-year-old former Liverpool cafe owner, was jailed for three and a half years for setting up and running a cannabis-growing operation at New House Farm in Muckleton, north of Telford.[1][2] He had turned to the drug trade after running up £30,000 in gambling debts, bypassing the electricity meter to power the hydroponic factory, and harvested more than £282,000 of drugs over four years.[1] The proceeds paid for a Lamborghini and properties in Britain and Spain that the judge said his legitimate business could never have funded.[1] Police later put the benefit of his criminal conduct at just under £450,000.[2]
