Worcester DIY cannabis farmer 'didn't want to pay for weed'
A DRUGS courier who trashed his rented house to make way for a DIY cannabis farm claimed he did it so he did not have to pay dealers for his weed. Michael Vella had previously run up a drugs debt to feed his habit which ended up in him transporting 2kg of amphetamines to pay off what he owed and get things square with his dealers. We have previously reported how the 55-year-old had a cannabis grow in his rented house in Highfield, Callow End with 16 plants which were around 6ft tall when discovered during a police raid on October 6 last year.
