Dozy dealers led police to a £28,000 drugs haul when they fell asleep in a car with the engine running and half a kilo of heroin in the footwell.
'Hapless and shambolic' Neil Coates and Vikki Hoyland drew attention to themselves when they parked up and nodded off in a vehicle. Police officers attended the scene and found the pair, who appeared to be under the influence of drugs, with the £10,000 batch of heroin, 21g of cocaine, a knife and baton in the car.
This discovery, in Nottingham, led police to search their home in Newcastle, where another half kilo of heroin, worth more than £10,000, was found stashed in a safe, along with £1,500 in cash and weapons, including machetes, a crossbow and BB gun.
