Cannabis farm gang posed as utilities contractor

An organised crime group posed as utility contractors to divert power to their cannabis farms across the country.
A company called Elev8 Civils & Utilities was set-up allowing the gang to work in liveried vans giving the appearance they were engaged in legitimate utilities work.
The men wore high visibility clothing and used signage to close roads but the gang were digging up pavements to access live mains connections which they then spliced to run a direct feed to properties they had earmar
