A 36-year-old man has been made the subject of a community rehabilitation order for two years after police found cannabis in his washing machine.

Bradford Crown Court heard how Michael Spencer had a block of resin hidden behind a panel in the kitchen. The discovery was made by police as they searched his Keighley flat last July.

In total, two ounces of the drug with an estimated street value of £160 was recovered.

When interviewed, Spencer said he needed the cash to fund his own drug habit and support his pregnant partner.

Spencer, formerly of Parkwood Rise, Keighley, pleaded guilty to supplying cannabis and possessing cannabis with intent to supply. He was also asked for one matter to be taken into consideration.
