1/1 A MAN who had a “very sophisticated” cannabis farm in a North Yorkshire village has been jailed. Thomas Daniel Leggett, 29, could have made more than £11,000 in streets deals from every harvest of his illegal crop, York Crown Court heard. Alongside him in the dock was his partner, Anna Margaret Bould, 30, who allowed him to use her home near Tadcaster for his drug growing. The Recorder of York, Judge Sean Morris, told Leggett: “This was such a well planned and sophisticated growing enterprise. It was not just a few plants in your wardrobe.” Locking him up for six months, the judge said: “It is a short, sharp shock. It is something other people will learn from, hopefully.”
