Phillip Clover, aged 41, was busted with 13 bags containing a combined 13.53g of the drug, also known as Tusi, worth around £18,000 if broken down into street deals.

Pink cocaine is made up of a cocktail of substances including MDMA, ketamine, benzylpiperazine and caffeine and has hallucinogenic effects. It comes in a pink powder and is sometimes sweet smelling.

Shrewsbury Crown Court was told how police went to an address in Whitchurch Road, Shrewsbury due to a disturbance on April 4, 2021. 

Clover was arrested, and when officers returned later to search the property, they found the drugs, £15 in cash as well as a mobile phone with messages indicative of drug dealing.
