Prosecuting Peter Lloyd said the amount Thorne had in his possession was worth between £80 and £100 though this was disputed by Thorne's solicitor David Elvy.

"When police had concluded their investigation and found nothing further the charges were brought for the holding offences."
Magistrates fined the pair £65.
