Three men caught with £200,000 worth of cannabis on the A11 have pleaded to be deported back to Albania. 

Blerim Muca, 30, Renaldo Dyrmishi, 25, and Xhesi Hajdari, 23, were arrested after the huge haul was discovered when they were stopped on May 14.

Their arrests led police to a 650 plant cannabis farm in the disused former David Howkins Museum of Memories in Great Yarmouth.

Appearing to be sentenced at Norwich Crown Court they appealed to be deported back to their home country as quickly as possible. 

Speaking through an interpreter from the dock, Muca said: “I want to return home as soon as possible. I have my family there.”

The trio, who all have addresses in Birmingham, previously pleaded guilty to conspiracy to supply cannabis.

Adjourning their sentencing due to issues with court time, Judge Andrew Shaw told them: “I am conscious that each of you has been remanded in custody since mid-May and I’m sure you would like to know your sentences and when you’ll be able to go home, but I'm afraid that cannot happen today.”
