A 25-YEAR-OLD man has been jailed for two and a half years for growing 40 cannabis plants in his loft.

Luke Patchett was caught when police visited his flat in Newby House, Otley Road, Undercliffe, Bradford.

Patchett pleaded guilty to production of cannabis and was sentenced at Bradford Crown Court yesterday.

Prosecutor Stephen Wood said the crop had a street value of £11,000. Judge Jonathan Rose said Patchett had sought easy profits.
