Chambers supplied them with the keys and inside were seven cannabis joints and two bags of drugs.

The MDMA had a street value of £45 and the cannabis had an estimated value of £840.

Chambers admitted they belonged to him.

He told police he had bought them over the internet.

Mr John McAtamney, representing the defendant, said his client had co-operated with police and made full and frank admissions.

He explained Chambers had bought the drugs in bulk for economical reasons.

District Judge, Mrs Bernie Kelly, said there was a lot of drugs involved.

She adjourned the case until July 25 to obtain a pre-sentence report.
