John Coogan, prosecuting, said police were tipped off about a possible drugs cultivation. Officers armed with a search warrant went to the house late on a Sunday night. There was no answer when they knocked but they could see the accused inside. He went upstairs and made as if to jump from a window, prompting the cops to force entry. They found Dulla in the loft along with cannabis plants and growing equipment. He was hiding amongst loft insulation. There were 46 plants with a potential value of £200 to £600 each. Routine checks were made by the Home Office but there was no evidence that Dulla was a victim of people trafficking.
