This is the moment a drug-maker sobbed ‘I’m sorry’ as police raided his home to find a £173,000 cannabis factory.  

Marisol Bezati, 20, has been jailed for 18 months after he turned most of the house in Peterborough, Cambridgeshire, into a growing area for the plants.

Video footage shows him cowering on his sofa in shorts and a T-shirt as officers scream ‘Police!’, entering his living room to find him sitting on the sofa. 

Bezati appears in shock as police handcuff him, with his eyes wide and constantly mumbling ‘I’m sorry’. 

The video then shows how most of the house was turned into a greenhouse for weed.

Bezati appeared at Peterborough Crown Court on Friday October 27 where he was sentenced to 18 months in prison after admitting being concerned in the production of cannabis and abstracting electricity.

Detective Constable Andrew Donaldson, who investigated for Cambridgeshire Police, said: ‘We will continue to target criminal networks involved in drug dealing and production in our county.

‘The links between serious crime and those involved in cannabis cultivation are clear, with the drugs trade often fuelling violence as groups compete against each other for a space in the ‘market’.

‘These setups also present threats due to damage that is often caused to the properties themselves with the buildings becoming dangerous, unlawful abstraction of electricity, risks of fires, fumes and water damage.’
