Police raided a Medway home and seized Class A drugs and hundreds of pounds in cash, a court heard.

Officers spotted a plastic bag hidden in the gutter at the house in Gillingham Road, Gillingham, which turned out to contain heroin and cocaine.

The 46 wraps of cocaine and 41 wraps of heroin were outside the bedroom of 22-year-old Devon Hill. He was there along with Adetayo Adelekan, 23, from London.

Prosecutor Trevor Wright said cash totalling £1,805 was “scattered” in various places in the bedroom.

A mobile phone was seized but could not be examined as Hill would not provide the PIN - described by a judge as “significant interference with the course of justice”.

Adelekan was jailed for six years and five months and Hill for four years and 10 months.

Prosecutor Trevor Wright said a link to the batch of drugs found at the house on May 7 2015 was made to nine wraps of cocaine and nine of heroin found in the underwear of another man who was later arrested.

Adelekan denied two offences of possessing drugs with intent to supply, but was convicted. He admitted two charges of possessing an offensive weapon and failing to surrender to bail.

Hill admitted two offences of possessing drugs with intent to supply and failing to cooperate.

Mr Wright said Adelekan was stopped on October 20 last year because he was cycling on the wrong side of the road. A check showed he was in breach of his bail by being out after his curfew.

After his arrest, officers found a lock knife between the seats of the police car. A similar knife was found in his underwear when strip-searched.

Both Adelekan and Hill had previously been given custodial sentences for dealing in Class A drugs.

Mark Stevens, for Hill, said his client had undertaken drug courses in prison and tried to better himself. He had the offer of an apprenticeship when released.

Craig Evans, for Adelekan, who appeared by video link with Thameside Prison in Greenwich, said before his client’s arrest he had started to find some stability and was taking a sports science course at college.

But he ended up in hospital with a gunshot wound to his shin. His partner was pregnant with their first child.

Judge David Griffith-Jones QC said it was clear both men were selling drugs directly to users.

“You would have had an understanding of the scale of the operation you were involved in,” he told them.
