Tabaku (left) and Gosturani were both jailed for dealing in cocaine after immigration officials found 507 grammes of cocaine, which was 90 per cent pure, in a bag. The bag also contained scales and dealer bags, Leeds Crown Court heard.

The total weight of cocaine came to 841 grammes, while more than £11,000 in cash was also found between the bedrooms. Gosturani gave no comments during his police interview, but Tabaku said the money was from work, and claimed to know nothing about the drugs. This was despite his finger prints being found on the dropped bag.

Gosturani was jailed for six years and Tabaku for six year and six months.
