A drug dealer hid more than £2,000 worth of cannabis in his family home.

Imran Litt, of Shanti Margh, near Northfields, Leicester, has been jailed for 18 months. He stashed cannabis in his bedroom, the spare room and in a music speaker at his family's house, Leicester Crown Court heard.

In addition to the drugs, which had a total street value of £2,230, police also found several mobile phones in his possession.

Two of them contained a "drug message" relating to people trying to obtain drugs from him.

Litt (31), who has previous convictions for drugs-related offences, pleaded guilty to possession with intent to supply cannabis on September 16 last year. The offence put him in breach of a suspended jail sentence for an earlier offence of causing actual bodily harm, relating to a group street assault last year.

Litt was jailed for 12 months for possession with intent to supply cannabis and six months of the suspended sentence were activated, to run consecutively.

The cash and items found were forfeited and the drugs were ordered to be destroyed.
