WATCH: Video shows drug bust operation after four jailed for involvement

Video below article:

Yesterday 4 men were jailed following a large scale police operation in Southampton. Police successfully dismantled a cannabis factory, worth an estimated £3.6 million a year.

Agron Elezaj, 27, of Jack Clow Road, London, Amarildo Sulaj, 23, of Stanhope Road, Doncaster, and Rexhino Koci, 26, and Damiano Saraci, 30, both of no fixed address, were sentenced at Winchester Crown Court yesterday (11 July).

Sulaj and Koci both pleaded guilty to playing a significant role in the organisation, whilst Saraci and Elezaj both pleaded guilty to a lesser role in the production of a Class B drug – cannabis.

Sulaj was sentenced to 4 years and 4 months in prison and Koci was sent to prison for 4 years. The other two (Saraci and Elezaj) were both sentenced to 20 months in prison. The total time spent for the gang amounts to 11 years and eight months in total.

This is the result of some amazing work by Hampshire Constabulary, who last year identified that an organised crime group was running a large cannabis factory, located in an industrial unit in Pitt Road, Southampton.

A raid of the unit was performed on 11 January this year, with Koci, Elezaj and Saraci being arrested inside the unit. Sulaj attempted to escape by running across the roof, before falling through a neighbouring building, injuring his ankles in the process.
