A Volkswagen Scirocco, driven by Senior, then joined the Mini and officers approached the car to carry out a search.

Officers found 16 wraps of cannabis in the container, and £9,450 in cash, 17 bags of cocaine, one bag of ketamine, and two 10ml vials of testosterone were discovered in a further search of the vehicle.

Prosecutor Stephen Rose said the minimum street value of the drugs located in the Volkswagen was £6,786 and Senior's home was then searched and officers found two bags of cocaine, worth £352, and relevant paraphernalia.

Warwick Foreman

The 52-year-old has been jailed for a total of 21 weeks after he was convicted in relation to livestock worrying in Brantham that prompted 11 sheep to be put down.

This comes after four incidents last year in the village.

On August 9, two sheep were found by a sheep owner in Brantham and were so severely injured they both had to be put down.

There were a further three incidents where multiple sheep had to be put down following brutal attacks.

As part of the investigation, police managed to secure DNA saliva swabs from both dogs. It found a match to the ear of one of the fatally injured sheep.

The sentence also includes an offence where he was also convicted of taking a tractor without the owner's consent and caused damage to the trailer.

He was also banned from driving – for a third time – for a period of two years.
