Britain's 'worst landlord' has been left with a £60,000 bill after drug dealers turned three of his properties into cannabis factories.
Fergus Wilson, 76, once Britain's biggest buy–to–let landlord with almost 1,000 properties in Kent, caused outrage in 2017 when he tried to ban 'coloured' tenants from living in his houses, stating they left carpets 'smelling of curry'.
More controversy followed when a further 'ban list' emerged, telling letting agents to block tenants with kids, those who were on benefits and even 'battered wives' and 'plumbers'.
In a more recent scandal, Mr Wilson was handed a suspended prison sentence last year for breaching an injunction preventing him from harassing council staff at Ashford Borough Council.
Now the property tycoon and police have uncovered three illegal cultivations at houses owned by him in Ashford, Aylesford and Boughton Monchelsea, during routine checks at the homes.
