They also recovered more than £31,000-worth of high-purity cocaine from the houses of Whittingham, 27, and neighbour Jordan Tanner, 28, in the village of Cwmavon, near Port Talbot, South Wales.
Swansea crown court heard phones belonging to the pair were seized and contained extensive messaging between them, showing their involvement in “large-scale drug dealing”.
Ieuan Rees, prosecuting, said a police search uncovered drug-dealing paraphernalia – including snap-seal bags and caffeine to mix with cocaine prior to sale.
Whittingham was jailed for three years and ten months after admitting possession of cocaine with intent to supply, and possession of criminal property.
