A MAN accused of conspiring to smuggle mobile phones containing drugs into a prison will be sentenced next month after pleading guilty to a number of charges.

Imran Novsarka, 28, admitted six offences when he appeared at Bradford Crown Court yesterday.

He faced one charge of conspiracy to convey prohibited articles into prison. It is alleged that, on or before March 6 this year, he conspired with others unknown to convey a quantity of mobile phones and sim cards into an unknown prison.

Novsarka also pleaded guilty to supplying crack cocaine and heroin, between February 1 and March 6 this year, and possessing crack cocaine and heroin with intent to supply, on March 6, 2014.

He admitted a further charge of dangerously driving a Peugeot 206 car, in Oak Villas, Manningham, Bradford, on March 6.

Prosecutor Robert Galley said it seemed the defendant accepted supplying from around the beginning of February. He said the possession with intent incorporated all the drugs recovered from a car and a house.

Mr Galley said it was a category 3 case with a relatively high significant role.

Novsarka's barrister, James Bourne-Arton, said his client's guilty pleas were entered on a basis outlined in his police interview, in which he made full admissions in relation to a conspiracy to send a package into an unknown prison.

Mr Bourne-Arton said Novsarka was dealing on behalf of others who provided the drugs.

He added: "Mr Novsarka is a man of good character. He is married and I ask for a pre-sentence report."

Judge David Hatton QC adjourned sentencing until November 21.

He told bushy-bearded Novsarka: "You have pleaded guilty to a number of serious offences.

"I am going to accede to the request of your counsel to adjourn sentence for the preparation of a pre-sentence report."

Judge Hatton released Novsarka on bail on condition that he lives and sleeps at his mother's address in Aldermoor Lane, Coventry, and abides by an electronically monitored curfew between 8pm and 6am.

The judge added: "You mustn't assume from the fact that I am releasing you on bail and ordering a pre-sentence report that that is an indication of the likely sentence in the case. It is not. All options are available."
