Three more jailed for Borders cannabis farms after police found £300,000+ worth of illegal cultivations in the region.
A 38-year-old man got two years in jail. The Jedburgh Sheriff Court handed down this sentence, while two 22-year-old men each got one year and eight months.
Last month, five men were also jailed, with their sentences totaling over nine years. These men ran weed farms in Galashiels, and these farms were worth almost £2.5 million.
