A man has been jailed for more than four years after £30,000 worth of cannabis was found at the scene of a house fire in Stafford.
Staffordshire fire crews had attended a house fire on Taplin Close on April 29, 2020, and alerted police of a possible drugs set-up inside. They raised concerns after spotting dangerous electrical wiring running from fuse board along the stairs, Stafford Crown Court heard.
Firefighters extinguished the blaze and officers discovered 60 cannabis plants – and an electricity bypass at the property – during the search. Mark Baglin, from Taplin Close in the town, was arrested and a search of an additional address revealed a bin-bag of cannabis hidden in the loft.
