A couple have been jailed for nine years after police found more than £100,000 worth of drugs at their house in Sheffield.
Shakeen Christian, 28, and Sophie Massey, 29, were arrested following a raid in Dagnam Crescent in February.
Officers discovered almost 1kg of heroin, worth an estimated street value of £100,000, 156 grams of cocaine with a street value between £6,000 and £15,600 and 1kg of cannabis, worth up to £5,000.
Further tests also revealed the heroin discovered had been cut up with synthetic opioids, which police said could be "even more dangerous" to users.
Both Christian and Massey pleaded guilty to drug offences during a court appearance.
Christian was sentenced to six years imprisonment, and Massey was given three years.
Detective Sergeant James Dyson said:“I am extremely pleased with the outcome of our warrant which turned up a significant amount of dangerous drugs and has led to the successful prosecution of these offenders.
“Hopefully these custodial sentences will cause both offenders to think twice before involving themselves with illegal drugs again.”
