Two men have been jailed following the discovery of a cannabis factory in Swansea city centre.
26-year-old Aleksander Cela and 30-year-old Dennis Horeshka, both of no fixed abode, were both arrested following a warrant on Strand on May 8.
During the raid, a large cannabis cultivation comprising in excess of 900 plants was discovered.
Both men have been sentenced to 32 months in prison after pleading guilty to producing Class B drugs.
Sergeant Craig Evans said:
“Aleksander Cela and Dennis Horeshka are just the latest individuals to find that involving themselves in the illegal drug trade does not pay.
“Not only do the proceeds made from dealing cannabis go towards other illegal and even more serious activities, they put a significant number of people at risk of harm by association.
“Even further, the building on Strand in Swansea which these two men were using to conduct their activities was also highly unsafe, and had to be made secure before officers and the Territorial Support Team could gain access to remove the plants and equipment.
“Drug crime comes with consequences. Here, those consequences involve being sent to prison.”
