Fiscal Lauren Sangray explained how Doyle was caught after a colleague went to a communal staffing area.Miss Sangray: "Inside, there were 10 boxes of diazepam each containing 28 tablets. The diazepam were wrapped in cellophane which is how they are received from the supplier."

Three mobile phones were then found during a search of Doyle's home.A forensic examination of one phone disclosed the 32 contacts asking for drugs.
