Desart Gjolla, aged 41, from Nuneaton was pulled over in a car being driven by a friend on April 3.

After finding two bags of cocaine on Gjolla's person, police raided his home address and found more than 60 grams of the Class A drug, along with scales, bags and other paraphernalia related to dealing, Shrewsbury Crown Court heard on Friday.

Mr David Jackson, prosecuting, said the drugs were estimated to have a value between £1,400 to £5,600, depending on how it was sold.

However, he conceded that Gjolla's dealing appeared to be supplying friends to feed his own habit.
