Summary
- Six men sentenced for operating five cannabis farms across West Yorkshire.
- The criminal enterprise generated over £3 million in cannabis street value.
- Police seized luxury vehicles and significant amounts of cash during raids.
Six men have been handed lengthy prison sentences for their involvement in operating five commercial cannabis farms throughout West Yorkshire. The illicit operation, active between 2024 and 2025, generated cannabis valued at over £3 million on the street. Armand Hysa and his uncle Selman Hysa were identified as the leaders of the enterprise.
Investigations uncovered cannabis grows at four business premises and one residential property. Police raids yielded significant seizures, including luxury vehicles like a Range Rover and Porsche, alongside substantial sums of cash, with one discovery of £25,000 found hidden in a child's uniform.
Specific locations included a house at 192 Alverthorpe Road, where 96 cannabis plants and 20kg of cannabis were found, and Newgate House in Pontefract, a former office block converted into a multi-room factory producing 250kg of cannabis.
Further raids at Wakefield Commercial Park and Beckbridge Industrial Estate uncovered more grow sites. A fifth property at Moldgreen Top in Huddersfield yielded 983 plants and 100kg of cannabis. The sentences ranged from eight months to 39 months imprisonment.
