A cannabis dealer has been jailed after police intercepted a package of the class B drug from California which was addressed to his home in Leeds.
Officers found more drugs when they searched Charlie Jones’ home and discovered large sums of money had been paid into his bank account by drug users.
Leeds Crown Court heard UK Border Force officers intercepted a package from California addressed to his home on November 21 last year.
The package was found to contain 500g of cannabis.

Jessica Heggie, prosecuting, said the officers then went to Jones’ home to carry out a “confrontation visit”.
Jones answered the door and the officers explained why they were there.
The defendant told the officers that the package was “a bit of smoke.”
A search of Jones’ bedroom was carried out and further amounts of cannabis worth more than £5,000 was found inside a jar and foil bags.
