Lloyd Fletcher, 29, and Jacob Flavin, 21, admitted possession of cannabis with intent to supply on April 15 in Telford.

Fletcher also admitted supplying cocaine in Yew Tree Meadow, Hadley, where both guilty parties live, between March 1 and March 24.

Mr Hugh O'Brien Quinn, prosecuting, told Shrewsbury Crown Court that the cocaine had a street value of £30.

"It was a single supply of cocaine to a friend. It is very plain that Fletcher was a cocaine user. A sum of money was also confiscated," he said.

Mr Brendan Reedy, mitigating, said: "They are half-brothers. Their basis of plea is straightforward and borne out of messages on Lloyd Fletcher's phone."

Judge Peter Barrie granted both Fletcher, 29, and Flavin, 21, conditional bail. They will be sentenced later this month.
