Dope: Cannabis grower caught by YouTube
A potty cannabis grower was arrested by police ... after posting a series of videos showing his illegal drugs factory on YouTube.
The 25-year-old man had been recording the videos to document the growth of his horticultural endeavours for a number of months.
In addition to filming lots of incriminating shots of Cannabis plants and explaining how he was growing it, the green-fingered film maker even used his REAL name making it incredibly east for police to find him.
After tracking him down - which took all of five minutes - police from Avon and Somerset raided his home seizing cannabis plants and drug making equipment.
Officers say the man was "extremely surprised" at his arrest and even more so that police had gathered information on YouTube ... he thought they would be on Facebook.
PC Adrian Peck, Field Intelligence Officer for Bridgwater Police Station said: "The cultivation of cannabis is illegal. If you break the law and are foolish enough to then advertise your criminal activities on the internet, it makes it very easy for the Police to catch you."
The Cannabis produced by the single plant could have had a potential street value of up to £500; both the plant and growing equipment will be destroyed.
