Now that's an underground operation! Gang cut trapdoor in caravan leading to subterranean cannabis factory in shipping containers housing plants worth £150,000 www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2933523/Now-s-underground-operation-Gang-cut-trapdoor-caravan-leading-subterranean-cannabis-factory-shipping-containers-housing-plants-worth-150-000.html ~ A gang created an elaborate underground cannabis factory in a series of buried shipping containers that were accessed through a trapdoor cut into a caravan, a court heard.
The subterranean enterprise, cultivating plants with a street value of £150,000, had running water, electricity, and its own sophisticated air supply system.
Cunning Adam Williams, 42, and David Bradbury, 51, had buried the four capsules in a remote field in the West Country and covered them with two caravans.
The duo had then cut trapdoors into the floor of one of the caravans and used a series of ladders to climb down into the submerged containers. Each container was its own mini cannabis production unit and was equipped with powerful lights to help the cannabis plants grow.
A police video showed the interior of the factory with ventilation pipes and fans powered by a complex electrical set-up. A deck chair can also be seen nestled among the growing plants.
