The man told officers that the house was being used to grow the drug.

bloody oath, that's ridiculous. Probably just means hydro, probably harsher sentences now or something.

Seriously though wtf, who the hell does that? Did he get caught and then talk? Or was he gonna get away scott free and then ratted on him?

Either way, dog move.

He tried to use it as bargaining power to get off I reckon. Never has been never will be honour amongst thieves.
