Two men caught with almost £1,000 worth of heroin to supply to friends were yesterday jailed for a total of five years.
Paul Connor, 42, and Clifton Weedon, 23, were arrested at Weedon's home on the Chetwode Ruscote estate, Banbury, where equipment used to smoke the drug was discovered.
Sentencing them at Reading Crown Court, Judge Mary Jane Mowat, said they had a series of drug-related convictions which merited them going to jail.
David Bright, prosecuting, told the court that police raided Weedon's home and discovered the heroin after seeing Connor, of Goodrington Close, Banbury, and another man acting suspiciously outside the house on November 10, last year.
Connor was jailed for three years, and Weedon for two years.
Both men pleaded guilty to possession with intent to supply heroin.
A charge of conspiracy to supply heroin was dropped by the prosecution.
