Van Tran (35) and Thieu Nguyen (31) were found by police at the factory at Sawtry Business Park in November.
Tran, of no fixed address, was described as a ‘professional gardener’ who earned ‘significant sums’ and engaged in ‘repeated harvests at multiple locations’. He was sentenced to two years and ten months in prison.
Nguyen, 31, of no fixed address, was sentenced to 21 months in prison.
Along side the two cannabis gardeners, a number of other crooks – including drug dealers, sex offenders and thieves – were all locked up for crimes in and around Peterborough last month.
These are not all the people jailed – just those that Cambridgeshire Police have released an image of.
