A woman hid a bag stuffed with illegal drugs behind her garden shed – only for her mum to report the stash to police. Megan Brown, then 22, was arrested in February last year after officers descended on the family home in Llanharan, Rhondda Cynon Taf.

Prosecutor Aliyah Hussain said the mother had called police reporting that Brown had "come home with drugs". But when police arrived at the Duffryn Crescent address, the mum refused to show them where the substances were being kept, Cardiff Crown Court heard.
