POLICE found stashes of crack cocaine and a large haul of more than £1,000 cash after their suspicions were suddenly raised by the sight of a car that was attracting the attention of “numerous” people, including two motorcyclists.

The money was found hidden under the sun visors of a woman's car at the driver's side and on the passenger side.

Mobile phones with messages advertising drugs sales were found by police, Hull Crown Court heard.

Alan Wheeldon, 24, of Kingscott Close, Bransholme, Hull, and Megan Foster, 22, of Morris Croft, Cottingham, both admitted possessing cocaine with intent to supply on April 19, last year.

They originally denied the offences but later changed their pleas to guilty on the day of a scheduled trial.

Harry Bradford, prosecuting, said that plain clothes police saw a silver Mercedes car parked in Swinderby Garth, Bransholme, at 8.20pm.

“Officers spotted numerous people around this car, including two on motorbikes,” said Mr Bradford.
