A WOMAN with a cannabis factory in her attic in Earby had blacked out the windows, magistrates heard.

Victoria June Lee, 28, was growing up to 20 plants at her home in Greenend Avenue.

She had lamps, fertiliser, heaters, lights and fans as well as plastic sheeting on the windows.

The Burnley court heard she also had pre-harvested cannabis bush bagged up in a large carrier bag and in the living room police found more cannabis in a large clear bag, rolling paper, scales and a mobile phone.

Lee admitted producing cannabis, last December 20 and was bailed to June 23 for reports.

The hearing was told police raided the defendant’s home, after information that drugs may be at the property.

Nobody was at home. Plants of varying sizes were growing in the attic.
