In total 253 plants were found in every room of the four storey house and associated paraphernalia to allow heating, lighting and ventilation.
John Brotherton, who prosecuted the case, said the defendant was here illegally. He added: “He said he came over in a dinghy from France. He said: ‘I only stayed there. He told me to water some plants like cabbages or something’.”
The defendant had been homeless when he was offered the job and was deemed to be involved at a lesser role than others further up the chain.
The jury, who had already been placed in charge of the case, were directed to return guilty verdicts after Van Le indicated he wished to change his plea to guilty.
Details of the sentence were relayed to Van Le via a Vietnamese interpreter.
A spokesman for West Mercia Police said: “On the September 30, 2021, police located a cannabis grow containing over 200 cannabis plants and locating one individual at the property. Police intervention with the help of Western Power removed a clear risk to the neighbouring properties and removal of these drugs from the area.”
