The criminals, which included two couples, used false identities and fraudulent documents to rent dozens of homes in Preston and Blackpool before turning them into cannabis farms.

They rented the homes and made themselves attractive to landlords by posing as a couple with a baby on the way.

The enterprise was overseen by Jack Nguyen 28, of Webster Avenue, Bootle, who was previously jailed for seven years and four months after admitting conspiracy to produce and supply cannabis and money laundering.
