A man has been jailed after police found an estimated £20,000 worth of monkey dust and cannabis inside a house in Stoke-on-Trent.

Corey Gilchrist, 31, from Hartshill, was jailed for 16 months at Stoke-on-Trent Crown Court on 15 November after he admitted three counts of possession with intent to supply a controlled drug of class B at an earlier hearing.

Gilchrist was arrested in March this year after police spotted him near a home they were about to search on Lansdowne Road in Hartshill.
