A Leeds man who was caught with a Gucci bag full of ketamine - or 'Kenny' - and counterfeit notes has been returned to jail.
William Nicholson, 30, of Harlech Street, was already on licence from prison for a burglary offence when a car he was in with two other men was stopped by police on Lupton Avenue in Leeds on August 5 last year.
Police searched the Gucci man bag and found 50 grams of ketamine, two mobile phones, two digital scales and £1,665 worth of counterfeit notes.

Nicholson had been in a relationship after being released from custody in 2020 but after this broke down he turned to selling drugs.
In terms of the counterfeit money, Nicholson had used it "in a nightclub environment and for entertainment".
Judge Christopher Batty sentenced Nicholson to 72 weeks in custody, of which he will serve half before being released on license.
