Sentenced Upon: Guilty Plea
Distinguishing Features / Details: He pleaded guilty to being concerned in the production of cannabis in Sunderland, Tyne and Wear, on 13 January 2013.

The judge said: "You came from Vietnam to the UK in pursuit of a dream, you entered as an illegal immigrant, but your life was not as you expected. You fell into the hands of gang-masters and they recruited you to work in a cannabis farm. Your circumstances were such, in reality, you had little choice... This court has to deter people who run and work in such large scale operations. This was a sophisticated operation and the potential yield of cannabis was over half-a-million pounds... The court hopes that the police will concentrate their efforts on bringing the gang-masters before this court."
