A nice little story in the press recently:


FARMYARD FRAUD Bankrupt fraudster jailed for disguising his £1.2 million luxury mansion as a barn and filling it with antiques and cannabis

Crook hid cannabis greenhouse behind Elizabethan oil painting and ran three front companies to launder £2.2 million of drug money he had made

A CONMAN has been put behind bars for six and a half years after cops discovered a haul of valuables in his £1.2 million mansion that he disguised as a giant garden shed.
Crooked businessman Alan Yeomans, 61, concealed his six-bedroom Shedley Manor home in Yeaveley, Derbyshire using green cladding and a corrugated steel roof so the property’s splendour could not be seen from the road.

The conman disguised his Shedley Manor property as a large shed

He had told officials he was bankrupt and living in a shed in his mother’s garden with just £300 worth of furniture and a £30 watch to his name.
However, when police swooped in on the barn as part of an investigation they found a treasure trove of antiques and oil paintings worth over £80,000.
Officers also discovered a £10,000 Rolex watch along with designer shoes and cannabis plants.
