A 37-year-old man and a 30-year-old woman have now been sentenced after South Yorkshire Police seized around 20 kilograms of cannabis from an address in Rotherham last year.
The cannabis was seized from Bridgewater Way on 27 April 2023 after the property was searched and both pleaded guilty to drug offences at Sheffield Crown Court on Friday 12 April.
Dale Banks, of Rufford Road in Doncaster, pleaded guilty to Possession of Class B drugs with intent to Supply and Emma Wilmot, of Bridgewater Way in Rotherham, pleaded guilty to permitting premises to be used for the supply of cannabis.
Banks had been on remand since the day the drugs were found, and at Sheffield Crown Court on Friday 12 April 2024 he was jailed for another 18 months on top of the almost one year of time served.
Wilmot was handed a 12-month community order and was ordered to attend 15 rehabilitation sessions.
OIC DC Jennifer Guest from the forces Armed Crime Team said: “I am pleased both defendants pleaded guilty, and I am pleased with the positive outcome.
“Illegal drugs have a devastating impact on our community and we will not tolerate it in South Yorkshire.”
