Two men have been jailed after police found a cannabis farm capable of producing drugs with a street value of £1m in a disused office building.

The set-up was found after a search of the building on Queen Street in Morecambe in September.

Lancashire Police then arrested Julian Dyrma, 30, and Mikeljantho Hasani, 24.

The pair, both of no fixed address, were each convicted of producing Class B drugs and sentenced to two years and one year and eight months in jail respectively at Preston Crown Court.
