On Thursday 071295 I was on duty when I went in company with other officers to 49 Gordon Road, Pitsea, Essex. These premises were the home address of Mr Patrick TATE. Between 1530 hours and 1855 hours that same day I conducted a search of the premises.

Whilst searching a waxed jacket which was in the wardrobe of the main bedroom I found the following property:

(i) six hundred and sixty pounds made up of twenty pound Bank of England bank notes (Exhibit Reference P.J.B/1).

(ii) A plastic bag containing six thousand pounds. This was made up of five thousand pounds in twenty pound Bank of England bank notes and one thousand pounds in fifty pound Bank of England bank notes (Exhibit Reference P.J.B/2).

(iii) Five hundred pounds made up of fifty pound Bank of England bank notes (Exhibit Reference P.J.B/3). From the top of a cupboard in the kitchen I found a bag containing pink coloured tablets (Exhibit Reference PJB/4) and a box of drugs marked 'VIRORMONE' (Exhibit Reference P.J.B/5).

I took possession of the above listed items and handed them to DC 543 MAYO who was performing the duty of exhibits officer at the premises.
