Raymond Owen had more than 1kg of cocaine, worth more than £55,000, and almost £214,000 cash scattered about his rented house on Grantham Green, Middlesbrough.
Bundles of £2,000 to £50,000 were unveiled under boards in the loft, behind a bathroom wash basin, in the cupboard under the stairs, under drawers, behind the cooker and washing machine and even in the vacuum cleaner.The 44-year-old admitted possession of cocaine with intent to supply and concealing criminal property.Robert Mochrie, mitigating, said Owen was profiting from cocaine dealing but the cash in the house was money that he owed, not his.Owen was caught in a “web” of cocaine addiction and pressure to store and supply drugs to pay off spiralling debts.
But Judge Peter Bowers said Owen was heavily involved in the commercial supply of cocaine.

Officers arrested two brothers they claim are major role players in the West Rand bouncer and drugs industry yesterday.Byleveld’s team yesterday arrested brothers Jacques and Deon Willemse on charges of armed robbery near Sophiatown. It's understood the duo had stolen a car from a 27-year-old woman and assaulted both her and her 52-year-old mother. Byleveld has previously arrested another brother of the two men, Gillie Willemse, on drugs related charges.
