Shrewsbury Crown Court was told that officers raided the property in Rocks Green on June 12 this year after receiving intelligence that drugs were being dealt from there.

They discovered 998g of heroin in the designer bag which, if broken down into street deals, would be worth £99,800.

Officers also found cocaine worth £2,800, the axes, more than £2,700 in cash, a list of customers and several mobile phones.

The phone contained messages indicative of drug dealing.
