Immigrants admit growing cannabis

Cannabis plants were found in a car and at a house in Pollok

Two illegal Chinese immigrants who were caught at a cannabis factory in Glasgow have admitted being involved in the production and supply of the drug.

Fen Xie, 36, and Zou Zie, 33, were arrested in June last year at a house in Pollok were cannabis plants, worth about £370,000, were being grown.

The raid came months after police found £30,000 of the drug in Xie's car.

At the High Court in Glasgow, sentence of the pair was deferred until next month. They also face being deported.

The court heard how police stopped a car driven by Xie, who only held a provisional licence, in Clydebank in April last year.

Police later found two laundry bags stuffed full of cannabis plants in the boot.

Two months later, Xie and Zie were arrested after police raided the property in Pollok following an anonymous tip-off.
