A Gorleston man has been fined �105 after he admitted possessing class A and C drugs left over from a New Year's Eve party.
Appearing at Yarmouth Magistrates' Court on Friday Martin Lees, of Lower Cliff Road, pleaded guilty to possession of 1.6g of cocaine and 1g of cannabis.

Mr Bowles said: “This was the aftermath of a rather spectacular New Year's Eve party.”
