A dog café owner was caught with more than £6,000 of heroin hidden underneath his floorboards.
Canine restaurateur Andrew Cain turned "warehouseman" for a Liverpool-based gang, who posted the illicit substances to Scotland and hid them in a park, after the collapse of his business.
Paul Blasbery, prosecuting, told Liverpool Crown Court how police raided the 39-year-old's home on Sedgeley Walk in Huyton on October 16 last year and found 606 wraps of heroin stashed under the floorboards. These class A drugs came with an estimated street value of £6,060 - with cutting agents, a set of scales and an electric mixer also seized from the address by officers.
