[00:00:00] Speaker 1: A homemade flamethrower designed to deter intruders. That's just one of the weapons this convicted drug dealer described as Home Alone-style traps at his properties. He posted this notice warning, quote, These premises and its surrounding buildings yard are booby-trapped. You have been warned at his home. In a second note he added, Now would be a good time to get measured up for your coffin. The British man Ian Claughton was sentenced this week after being found guilty last year of running a large drug operation across several properties. Officers discovered three neighbouring homes, owned by him and his ex-partner, that had been turned into fortresses to protect a substantial drug enterprise, the UK's Crown Prosecution Service said. Police discovered cannabis and amphetamines worth approximately £107,000 or $146,000 in the properties. He pleaded guilty to drug charges and a jury found him guilty of possession of weapons, explosives and other charges. He was sentenced to seven years in prison.
