Drugs and cash found in pair of socks

A jury has found a Tauranga man guilty of drug dealing after police found cash, methamphetamine, cannabis and scales inside a pair of socks.

The Tauranga District Court heart this week police found $7000 cash, $5000 worth of P, 84g of cannabis and digital scales inside two socks hidden on the man's fenceline.

The unemployed man, who cannot be named for legal reasons, was on trial this week defending charges of possessing P and cannabis, both for supply.
