Cocaine and cash worth up to £325,000 were found stuffed in bags for life when police busted a couple's home.
Liam Storey and Samantha Haswell were living together at Dacre Street, South Shields, which police had under observation on July 16 last year. They saw Storey leave then return a minute or so later with a bag and five minutes later, officers raided the house.
Emma Dowling, prosecuting, told Newcastle Crown Court they found five kilos of cocaine in a bag for life and £125,000 cash in a second bag for life, both recovered from a wardrobe in a bedroom. Miss Dowling said: "The bedroom had a camera installed in it, the Crown say for security purposes, no doubt.
