A SECOND man has admitted involvement in a large cannabis farm at a former bargain shop in Worcester city centre.
Gjediku Kadri, 41, admitted being concerned in the production of a controlled drug of Class B - cannabis when he appeared at Worcester Crown Court.
Kadri, of no fixed abode, was involved in the production at the cannabis farm at the former Poundland store in The Shambles between April 1 and June 6 this year.
As we previously reported earlier this month his co-accused, Denis Voka, 24, of no fixed abode, admitted the same count.
The pair were involved in the 500-plant cannabis farm in the upper section of the empty shop.
The police discovered the farm in June, arresting the pair.

The case was heard on Wednesday, (August 23) in front his Honour Judge Martin Jackson.
He told Kadri to return to the court on September 20 when he would be sentenced.
Staff working near the former shop said they noticed a strong smell of cannabis in the mornings.
One business owner, who wished to remain anonymous, said: “When you get here in the mornings it used to smell so strongly of the stuff and I guess now we know why.”
Officers smashed open the doors of the empty shop before they discovered the cannabis plants.
