Trio jailed after cops discovered £11.8M cannabis factory in abandoned Scots shopping centre
WEEDED OUT Trio jailed after cops discovered £11.8M cannabis factory in abandoned Scots shopping centre Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) THREE men are behind bars after police uncovered a £1.8m cannabis factory at a derelict shopping centre. Two of the Albanian trio had previously been ordered to be deported from the UK - with one managing to return after he had been kicked out. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 4 The factory had been set up in a derelict shopping centre Credit: police scotland 4 Police were tipped off by Scottish Power Credit: POLICE SCOTLAND Elton Skenderi, 30, Gjovalin Toma, 31, and Eduard Daja, 39, today appeared in the dock at the High Court in Glasgow. They all admitted being involved in the production of the class B drug after thousands of plants were seized in September 2024. The three were warned to expect lengthy jail-terms when they are sentenced next month. A judge told them they had come to Scotland "to receive the benefits available from living here" and repaid that with "criminality on an industrial scale". The cannabis factory had been set up in shuttered units at the disused former Forum Shopping Centre in Irvine, Ayrshire. Police had been tipped off by Scottish Power who had concerns about "energy use" at the premises. Prosecutor Stewart Ronnie: "Entry was forced and a large cannabis cultivation was discovered over two floors." It was the same sophisticated set-up in neighbouring units which police also raided. There had been a barricaded door to try and stop the authorities getting in together with CCTV rigged up outside. There was also what was described as "living quarters" which included a bedroom, a cooking area, an electric heater as well as tables and chairs. Brit drug mules jailed for 6 YEARS after being found with 150lbs of cannabis Photos shown to judge Lord Mulholland also showed clothes hanging up, toiletries lying around and pictures on a wall. A total of 3,058 cannabis plants were seized. Mr Ronnie said the drugs had a value of between £611,600 and £1,834,800. During the probe into who was involved, officers spoke to a witness who had regularly spotted "several foreign males" turning up at the shopping centre in the early hours most days of the week. A white van would often roll up and the men would be seen with "heavy black bin liner bags". Skenderi and Toma were held that night after trying to run from police. They were said to be reeking of cannabis. Daja was caught the next day after being spotted leaving a fire exit at the shopping centre. He claimed to have been sleeping in the building. Fingerprint and forensic evidence linked Skenderi and Daja to the crime scene. This included DNA from both found on hair clippers discovered there. Mr Ronnie: "At the time of their arrest, all three refused to provide information relevant as to whether they were victims of human trafficking." The advocate depute gave further background on the trio. Daja was sentenced to eight months for a similar offence in May 2023 at Leeds Crown Court. He also served with a deportation order and was returned to Tirana in Albania in July 2023 under the Facilitated Returns Scheme. This programme was set up in 2006 to make the removal of foreign criminals from the UK easier and at the earliest opportunity. But, Daja ended up back in the country - not known when - and soon returned to crime. He admitted to a charge of breaching the order today. Toma also had a previous conviction for cannabis growing. He was sentenced to 14 months in Leeds in 2022. He was also ordered to be sent back to Albania, but went on to claim asylum and it remains a live case. Skenderi - like the other two - had no ties to the UK. Lord Mulholland told the men: "You have all been convicted of drug trafficking. This was no small time operation. "You have all come here to receive the benefits available from living here and this is how you treat the country - criminality on an industrial scale." They were remanded in custody as sentencing was deferred for reports. 4 The factory was shuttered at the time Credit: POLICE SCOTLAND

CCTV then captured the moment the pair start to fight as the woman can be seen grabbing his face. The OAP then gets to his feet and repeatedly appears to smash his fist into her mouth in front of horrified guests. The bar brawl continues as the pair scuffle across the lively establishment in Pattaya - known as Thailand's "Sin City". read more in Thailand BANGKOK HORROR Scot fighting for life after being run over by lorry in Bangkok Footage shows the local Thai worker hurling a glass at the Brit's face before he apparently swings at her with a right hook. The contact left her staggering backwards as a male customer jumped in to try and break up the fight. He pushed the Brit away but caused him to fall onto the pavement outside the bar onto his right arm. A Thai man then rushed to the Brit's side to protect him from a pile-on of incoming customers at the bar. Medics arrived shortly after as the tourist had broken his arm. Shocking moment Brit tourists in Thai 'Sin City' fight locals in road rage brawl But as they went to help him up to his feet he reportedly flipped off dozens of onlookers with his middle finger. He was later taken to a hospital to be treated. A Pattaya City Police spokesman said: "The CCTV clearly captured the incident, and our officers have collected the footage to include in the case file to ensure a fair investigation for everyone involved." The bar worker told cops: "He gave me a drink and wanted me to entertain him, but I had to look after the other customers. "He was upset and started shouting at me and punched me in the face. "Other customers stepped in and pulled him away. That's when he fell and was injured." Pattaya is known as a Brit holiday hotspot despite it gaining a dark reputation for holidaymakers. Back in April, British tourists were caught fighting locals in a horrific road rage brawl outside a convenience store. The holidaymakers reportedly downed cans of beer and had a woman with them before returning to their hotel. While driving, they reportedly clipped a food delivery rider, 44, before hurling a bag of rubbish at his two-wheeler, sparking a road rage fight in front of the 7-Eleven store. When the men began exchanging blows, other locals joined the fray, forcing the tourists to retreat into the supermarket. 5 Lilley was left on the ground for some time as medics arrived Credit: Asia Pacific Press via ViralPress
