“He was searched and officers saw him drop a wrap of foil on to the ground,” she said. “In a second interview he admitted it was heroin.”

Simon Greaves, mitigating, said the £10 of drugs were for personal use and he had not been in trouble with the courts ‘for many years.’

He was fined £50 and ordered to pay court costs of £85 and a victim surcharge of £30.
