A suspected drug dealer caught with thousands of pounds in cash at a seaside guesthouse has been warned he faces seven years in prison if convicted.

Jake Del Console, 23, was arrested after a search in Great Yarmouth uncovered 170 street dealing style wraps of heroin and cocaine and a large stash of cash.

Appearing before Norwich Magistrates’ Court via video link from prison, Del Console, of Rushton in Northamptonshire, did not enter pleas to charges of possession of class A drugs with intent to supply.

His case was committed to Norwich Crown Court with a plea and trial preparation hearing set for June 16.

He was remanded to remain in custody until that date after his defence solicitor said he was not seeking bail.

The court was told previous convictions in Northamptonshire meant he faced a mandatory ‘three strikes’ sentence of seven years if guilty of the allegations.
