Police break in at jailed nursing home owners former office to discover cannabis farm

Police raided the former offices of jailed nursing home owner David Barton after a cannabis farm was discovered. The front door of the property on the corner of St Georges Place and Post Office Avenue has been smashed in. Police statement later.

David Barton was jailed in 2018.

David Barton, 64, conned residents of Barton Park nursing home in Southport out of more than £4m over 16 years.
Judge Steven Everett told Liverpool Crown Court it was the "most brazen" case of fraud he had ever seen.
Barton was convicted of a string of charges including conspiracy to defraud after a trial which lasted a year.

The court heard Barton bought several homes and a fleet of expensive cars including four Ferraris and two Rolls Royces.
Sentencing, Judge Everett said he was "despicably greedy man".
