Cannabis farm: ‘Breaking Bad’ grandad, 70, ran £1m drugs operation
He initially grew vegetables but turned to cannabis to alleviate his arthritis. But, just like mild-mannered Walter White in the hit TV series, Collier began making big money and embarked on a life of crime.
His family business, AJ Motors, was transformed into a thriving drugs empire with production on a commercial scale.
A court heard Collier, of Plymouth, Devon, had 71 cannabis plants growing in a sophisticated set-up in an outbuilding at the garage.
His family knew nothing about his illicit business until police raided the premises in May 2016.
