A DRUG dealer had a rude awakening when police caught him and his girlfriend in bed during a Sunday morning raid, a court was told yesterday.

A search turned up a nine-ounce block of cannabis resin, worth £1,000, and more cannabis hidden in a toy rabbit, which dealer Jason Davies, 20, said was for his own use.

Davies also had a plastic bag with bits of paper with the initial J and his mobile telephone number written on to give to customers, said Peter Johnson, prosecuting.

Davies of Cleatlam Court, Hardwick, Stockton, admitted selling cannabis to friends to fund his own habit, Teesside Crown Court heard.

After police released him on bail, he handled a stolen credit card, using it nine times in a day for goods worth £400.

Davies was ordered to serve 11 months from his last sentence, plus 18 months consecutively for possessing drugs with intent to supply and the deception offences, which he admitted
