Sokolaj admitted being concerned in the production of cannabis.

At Peterborough Crown Court on Tuesday, Sokolaj, of Arbury Road, Cambridge, was sentenced to 12 months in prison.

Detective Constable Lauren Skinner, who investigated, said: “Thanks to information received and our own investigation, we were able to shut down this cannabis factory. We can’t be everywhere and we rely on people in communities being our eyes and ears. If you suspect something isn’t right, it more than likely isn’t."
