Police have released this image of a cannabis factory found hidden beneath a garage in Beckley.
Paul Wells, 44, who lived in the quiet village near Oxford, hid the growing room at his house in the High Street, which used to be the village shop. Police said the 43 plants were worth a potential £45,000.
Wells, a former car parts salesman and single father of four, was sentenced to 12 months in prison for producing the Class B drug at Oxford Crown Court on September 24.
