The head of an organised crime group who posed as a property developer to run a multi-million-pound network of cannabis factories staffed by illegal migrants was jailed for more than six years, following a National Crime Agency investigation.

Roman Le from Birmingham, headed a gang who operated at least eight farms in residential and commercial properties across the Midlands, North West and North Lincolnshire, as well as a storage facility housing equipment and harvested cannabis.

Le worked with fellow gang members Yihao Feng and David Qayumi to source and operate the properties.

Among them was the former ‘Big Bamboo’ nightclub in Coventry which was raided by the NCA and West Midlands Police. Officers found more than 1,500 plants, worth more than £1 million, spread over three floors.

Le was arrested at his home and his accomplices pleaded guilty to conspiring to produce cannabis, but Le denied the charge. Following an eight-day trial at Birmingham Crown Court, he was found guilty and, on 4 July, he was jailed for more than six years.
