A man has been jailed for over five years after more than £65,000-worth of drugs were found in a Stoke-on-Trent home during a raid.

Kevin Gordon Hunter, 58, of Bucknall, admitted two counts of possession with intent to supply a controlled drug of class A – cocaine and crack cocaine and possession of a controlled drug of class B – cannabis.

The court heard how officers searched a home in Bentilee on 13 November 2025 and found £66,500-worth of cocaine, MDMA and cannabis, and around £2,000 in cash.

Hunter was arrested at the address.

He's now been jailed for five-years-and-three-months.

Major and Organised Crime Superintendent Victoria Downing said: "Drug dealing can be a pathway for exploitation and can cause significant harm to vulnerable people in our communities.

"I'm pleased we were able to recover such a large amount of drugs in this operation and take them off our streets."
