Two drug dealing brothers were caught with a haul worth more than £74,000 when the police searched their home.

Officers seized two kilos of MCat, with a street value of £50,000, and two kilos of cannabis, which could have fetched just under £25,000 on the streets.

Gurdeep Ghuman (38) and Sarbjit Ghuman (35), both of , were told to expect jail when they next appear at Leicester Crown Court.

The brothers both pleaded guilty to possessing the class B drugs with intent to supply them, on February 18.

Gurdeep also pleaded guilty to simple possession of nine grams of cocaine, a class A drug, on the same date.

Recorder William Edis QC adjourned the case until May for the preparation of pre-sentence reports.

He said he was granting bail to the defendants, both described as "family men", as an act of compassion so they could put their affairs in order before their "inevitable" jail terms.

Recorder Edis said: "You've admitted serious offences of drug dealing.

"It's inevitable you're both going to go to prison.

"Nothing I say, in allowing bail, should indicate otherwise.

"You're not to have false hope in my asking for pre-sentence reports."

The recorder granted them bail with conditions, including that they both live at their present address.

They were told they must also surrender their passports to Beaumont Leys Police Station within 24 hours.

Prosecutor Adrian Harris said: "Two kilos of both types of class B drugs are involved and the defendants accept they're street dealers.

"They were both dealing in both drugs and don't dispute that.

"The class B drugs were being held for the purpose of supply and they were going to deal in them.

"They are where they are on the supply chain.

"Gurdeep (who has previously been prosecuted in relation to drugs) had a leading role and his brother was in a significant role."

Recorder Edis told defence counsel: "As both are family men they can have bail before they go to prison, and it's not to give them any hope about the sentence."
