Three illegal Vietnamese immigrants have been locked up for working at a cannabis farm.
Bradford Crown Court heard Thuong Nguyen, 25, Quang Hoang, 18, and a 17-year-old youth all admitted being concerned in the production of cannabis.
A police raid at a farmhouse at Norr Hill Farm, Lee Lane, Cottingley, Bingley, in November uncovered 1,053 plants with a potential yield valued at £361,028. The three defendants were found hiding.
The court heard Nguyen was employed to cook and clean at the farmhouse, while Hoang and the teenager were employed to water the plants.
Nguyen was sentenced to 15 months in jail, Hoang to 15 months youth detention and the 17-year-old to a detention and training order for 12 months.
