A recruitment consultant made £38k from selling cannabis, which he grew in a tent in his Bromley Cross home, The Bolton News has reported.
Christopher Higson, who had previously run a recruitment business and was aiming to recruit staff for a firm of medical negligence solicitors, was ordered by the Bolton Crown Court this week to sell a luxury vehicle he bought with the proceeds, or face jail.
The publication said police found 12 plants growing at his Grange Road house in July 2013 and the vehicle, valued at £3,878.43, was his only remaining asset.
He pleaded guilty to producing cannabis and was given until 3 December to repay the almost £4k or face two months in prison. He was also sentenced to 100 hours unpaid work.
The report said Higson now plans to restart another business he had which involved civil engineering.
