Shaun Collins and Kathryn Davies
A DRUG dealer who hid his stash of heroin and crack cocaine in a Kinder Egg in his rectum has been jailed.
His partner was also found to be hiding a Kinder drug egg internally, and she too has been sent down.
Swansea Crown Court heard that police executed a warrant at a property in Cwm Road, Swansea, on June 9 and found Shaun Collins and Kathryn Davies inside.
Craig Jones, prosecuting, said that while officers were searching Collins they saw "a Kinder Egg case protruding from his anus".
When it was removed and opened, it was found to contain 11 wraps of heroin and a rock of crack cocaine.
Davies was also found to have a Kinder Egg "internally secreted" — but that had to be removed by a police medical examiner at Morriston Hospital.

Kathryn Davies
The court heard that when officers checked Davies's phone they found 17 text messages she had sent that day to various people telling them she had drugs available to sell.
Collins, aged 38, and Davies, aged 34, had both previously pleaded guilty to jointly possessing heroin and cocaine with intent to supply when they appeared in the dock for sentencing.
The court heard Collins — who also goes by the name Shaun Davies — had 30 previous convictions for some 80 offences for a range of matters including possession of offensive weapons, shoplifting, dangerous driving, and drugs. In 2007 he had been sentenced to 30 months for supplying heroin after selling drugs to undercover police officers in Swansea, and in 2011 he was sentenced to 54 months for possessing heroin with intent to supply.
Davies has 10 convictions for some 13 offences, including shoplifting and drugs matters.
Frank Phillips, for Collins, said his client had been a "hopeless heroin addict" for many years and was a low-level dealer rather than a "big cheese".The barrister said his client felt partly responsible for the predicament his partner was in.
John Tarrant, for Davies, said his client's heroin addiction had "ebbed and flowed" over the years.
Recorder Patrick Harrington QC told Collins he had a "terrible" record of offending but "at least had some chivalry" — he jailed the defendant for five-and-a-half years.
The recorder told Davies she had allowed heroin — a "foul substance" — to change her life, and he jailed her for two-and-a-half years.
