Dritan Meta, 43 years old, Refik Skepi, 45 years old, and Visar Elezaj, 38 years old, appeared before the court in England today, after being accused of producing narcotics from June 1, 2021 to August 18, 2022.
The £1.5m worth of cannabis was discovered by accident when an energy company went to collect an unpaid electricity bill at a house in Oxford.
The operation followed a police investigation into a suspected organized crime group linked to the wholesale supply of cannabis, the court heard.
Three separate addresses were identified as the cannabis factory, two residential properties in Oxford, and a large industrial unit in South Fambridge, Essex, called Shellfish Farm. "SSE wanted to cut off the electricity," Ms Schutzer-Weissman explained.
A representative from the company attended the property and "saw cannabis plants everywhere," the prosecutor said. The SSE employee called the police and a warrant was executed on the property on August 24, 2021. “The growth appeared to be very professional.”
Dritan Meta, 43, Refik Skepi, 45, and Visar Elazaj, 38, are all charged with one count of conspiracy to manufacture a controlled drug between June 1, 2021 and August 18, 2022. All deny the offence. Ms Schutzer-Weissman said the prosecution did not need to prove that each defendant played an active role in each of the cannabis grows.
