From Checkpoint, 5:25 pm today

So called crop sitters are being tricked into coming here from Vietnam for jobs that don't exist, only to find themselves working for international criminal groups, looking after massive cannabis grow houses. Police are concerned violence is escalating as local gangs try to muscle in on the business opportunity. Detective Inspector Callum McNeill spoke to Lisa Owen.
