Breaking Bad-style drug factory discovered in disused quarry with cannabis totalling £1m seized

A HUGE Breaking Bad-style drug factory has been found in a disused quarry.

Cops seized an estimated £1million of drugs in its tunnels and have yet to chart the full size.

Two beds were inside, and two Albanians held in yesterday’s swoop.

The set-up echoes TV’s Breaking Bad where drug kingpin Walter White ran a lab underground.

Sources say the farm at Bethel Quarry near Bradford-on-Avon, Wilts, could dwarf the previous biggest, found 26 miles away at the former Chilmark nuclear bunker last year.

Three men were jailed after cops found 4,425 plants in 20 rooms with the potential to generate a £1.25million-a-year crop.

Police said of the quarry find: “We are not sure how big the factory is because there are ­significant safety issues.”

Insp Nick Mawson added: “Locals are likely to see police presence as officers gather evidence.

“This work is anticipated to carry on into next week due to the size of the location.”

Bethel Quarry was owned by the Bath and Portland Stone Company.

It stored equipment in World War Two and later became a mushroom farm, closing in 2010.

Tourists now flock to Bradford-on-Avon for its Roman villas. Its most famous resident was Antiques Roadshow host Hugh Scully, who died aged 72 in 2015.

Alksander Shyti, 45, and Altin Deda, 39, were due before Swindon JPs yesterday charged with the production of cannabis but interpreter issues meant it was postponed.
