Drug dealer films himself in cannabis factory

A drug dealer who filmed himself in a cannabis factory has been jailed.

Matthew Sharman, 24, was arrested when officers executed a warrant at a caravan he was staying at in Stow Road, Wisbech on 24 April.

Cambridgeshire Police found a machete, a samurai sword and a black-handled knife, as well as mobile phones connected to drug-dealing activity and Snapchat videos of Sharman in a cannabis factory.

Sharman, of no fixed address, admitted being concerned in the supply of cocaine, LSD, cannabis, and production of cannabis and was jailed at Cambridge Crown Court on 8 August for three years and one month.

Det Sgt Mark Hodgson said: "Sharman left highly incriminating evidence on his mobile phones, giving him little choice but to admit the offences.

"It's baffling why he thought it would be a good idea to film himself in a cannabis factory."
