A UK couple was jailed for setting booby traps and explosives at home to protect a cannabis grow, inspired by Home Alone.
A UK couple, Ian and Lesley Claughton, were sentenced after their home was found rigged with booby traps, flamethrowers, explosives, and firearms, allegedly to protect a large cannabis grow operation.
The devices, inspired by the movie Home Alone, were discovered during a 2024 raid following an intercepted shipment of imitation firearms ordered through Lesley’s eBay account.
Police found cannabis, amphetamines, a crossbow, and £27,000 in hidden cash across three properties.
Ian, who claimed the traps were modified bird scarers, was jailed for seven years, while Lesley received a 21-month suspended sentence for aiding the operation.
The case highlights the dangers of using violent deterrents to protect illegal drug activities.
