The Sun reports that police were initially called to deal with damage caused at a club by Donald Ewers, but after his arrest found the surprise contained within a Kinder Egg case.

The distinctive yellow plastic capsule comes inside the hollow chocolate egg and usually contains small toy parts for children to put together.

After the drugs were found Ewers pleaded guilty to possession with intent to supply and is now behind bars for three years and four months.

It is the second time the painter and decorator has been locked up for drug dealing — he had a similar conviction in 2009 when he received a 42 months sentence.

The 50-year-old, who has fathered 19 children, had filled the case with 40 wraps of drugs to sell to friends when he was arrested at the All Nations Club in Gloucester on March 30.

Each wrap was analysed and 25 were found to contain a total of 2.3 grams of crack cocaine. Fifteen wraps contained a total of 1.14g of heroin.

Prosecutor Janine Wood told the Gloucester Crown Court the estimated value of all the drugs was between 440 pounds and 590 pounds ($876 to $1175).

Ewers, of Gloucester, told police he was a very heavy user of drugs himself. He also told them he was earning 1200 pounds a week as a painter and decorator.

He admitted the charges on the basis that he was only supplying to friends, but Judge Michael Cullum said he would not accept that and would only treat Ewers as a commercial supplier.

Mrs Wood said Ewers had eighteen previous convictions for a total of 41 offences including drug supply in 2009.

Joe Maloney, defending, said “He is realistic about his situation here at court today. He understands that his previous conviction for the same thing is an aggravating feature.

“He comes from a very well respected, big family. He has got nineteen children!”

Jailing Ewers, Judge Cullum said: “Be warned that if you commit this type of offence for a third time in the future you will be liable to a sentence of seven years minimum.”
