They then recovered further drugs.
Now the defendant, of Chell Road, Stafford, has been sentenced to 40 months in prison at Stafford Crown Court.
A Staffordshire Police spokesman said: On September 19, 2019 Pickering was arrested at his address for supply of class A drugs. Drug users were seen going to and from his address and four deals of drugs and £365 seized by officers. The court heard that on February 2 2019 officers attended Pickering’s previous flat in Pennycrofts and saw a number of steaks on the floor. Suspecting they were stolen a search was carried out at the property and heroin and cocaine discovered.
