He told the jury that another man had been in his house and left the drugs there.

After the hearing, arresting officer Joshua Marshall, neighbourhood beat manager for Ellacombe, said: "This is a fantastic result.

"The amount of drugs found could only have been intended for supply and I am pleased we stopped those drugs ending up on the streets."
