A weed smoker was found with three separate amounts of cannabis in his home when police searched it over an unrelated matter.

Leighton Corley's former home in Greenhithe was searched by officers and they discovered the drug inside in three separate locations.

Officers discovered some of the drug in a glass jar hidden in a man bag in a wardrobe in a bedroom.

They also found another amount in an orange plastic container and another small bit in a deal bag in the house.

The 47-year-old, who fixes emergency vehicles for a living, was charged with being in possession of cannabis.

He admitted the offence when he appeared before magistrates in Medway on January 18.

The court heard Corley, now of High Street, Snodland, had about 12 grams of the drug when officers tallied the amounts up after searching the property in November 2020.

Terry Knox prosecuting said: "There were three groups of cannabis in slightly different locations and which was in total about 12 grams."

Magistrates decided to fine Corley £200 for the offence and ordered he pay a victim surcharge of £34 and £85 costs.
