POLICE were said to have found 'dealer's lists' when they searched a house used by an alleged drugs pusher, a jury was told.

Burnley Crown Court heard how cash amounting to £700 was found on Anthony McVay, 31, while he was at the police station and many of the notes contained traces of heroin.

McVay, of Hood Street, Accrington, who claimed he had made up the 'dealer's lists' to wind up officers, denies being concerned in the supply of cocaine and heroin, between July 2000 and February 2001.

Arthur Stuttard, prosecuting, told the court in February police searched a house on Nairne Street, Burnley, and arrested the defendant there. They also searched another property he was using at the time, that of his girlfriend on Hood Street.

Officers found 'dealer's lists' showing Mc Vay had been supplying drugs and showing what kind of profit he expected to make and appeared at some stage had accrued from his dealingsain fairly large amount of class-A controlled drugs.

When the defendant was at the police station, officers found £648 in cash, drugs dealing proceeds, mostly of which were in notes. They also discovered a letter which McVay had written and not sent, which refers to him having been beaten up by two masked men and robbed of 'two ounces'.
