A Melbourne couple jumped out of bed, threw drugs out the window and then pretended to be asleep after they heard police raiding their love lair.

Emily Mayer, 31, and Jessica Wilkins, 30, pleaded guilty at the Melbourne Magistrates’ Court on Monday to trafficking meth, MDMA and 1,4 butanediol.

Mayer and Wilkins, who the court heard were in a de facto relationship, were pinched with a bevy of drugs and cash at their Werribee home on April 24 this year.

The lovebirds’ Pelican Place drug nest was “well-known to police”, the court was told.

The court heard police raided the home and discovered Wilkins and Mayer pretending to be asleep in bed together.

Investigators searched the home and seized various drugs including meth, bute, MDMA, cannabis and ketamine.

The meth and MDMA were split up into deal bags, the bute was distributed among smaller bottles and some of the drugs were found stashed inside a pillow case.

Police also seized cash, a tick book, scales, ice pipes, multiple iPhones and multiple CCTV cameras and SD cards.

Westgate Divisional Response Unit Senior Constable Briana Everett initiated an investigation into the pair for peddling meth just days before the raid.

CCTV footage of the raid, which was played to the court at an earlier hearing, depicted Mayer and Wilkins “quickly jump out of bed in a panicked response” and yell “cops” as police executed their warrant.

Wilkins avoided further jail time.

The court heard the footage depicted Wilkins and Mayer quickly stash meth and MDMA into a pillow case, throw cannabis out of a window then pretend to go back to sleep.

Police also linked an unlocked iPhone found in the bedroom to Mayer which contained messages related to drug trafficking.

“Just wondering if I could come around and get the usual? also after a Q of green if possible too,” a message read

Another message sent to Mayer’s phone at the exact time police busted the Pelican Place racket “alerted” the drug dealer she was “about to get raided by the jacks”.

Senior Constable Everett said police analysed the phone further and photographed multiple messages which pertained to drug dealing.

“Prolific amounts of text messages which implicate Mayer in current and active drug trafficking (were found on the phone),” Senior Constable Everett said during an earlier hearing.

The court heard the couple, who both pleaded guilty to drug possession and dealing with suspected proceeds of crime, gave police false pin codes until the device was locked out.

Senior Constable Everett also told the court police analysed the CCTV footage going back two days which revealed the couple’s bedroom drug racket.

“(Wilkins and Mayer are) using, handling, dividing, weighing, bagging and selling drugs of dependence, primarily methamphetamine, to numerous customers,” Senior Constable Everett said during.

“The customers are observed coming in and out of the bedroom trading primarily in tools, likely to be stolen, which are seemed to be exchanged for drugs provided by Wilkins and Mayer …

“The level of drug trafficking observed in this footage is blatant and explicit.”

Senior Constable Everett also earlier expressed concerns Wilkins’ proposed bail address was in “close proximity” to Pelican Place.

“(The property at) Pelican Place is a known drug house (which has been) subject to over 113 police involvements …,” Senior Constable Everett said.

Magistrate Donna Bakos said the couple’s offending was “clearly serious”.

”You were (both) also motivated by financial gain … all of the drug trafficking was conducted in and from your bedroom …,” Magistrate Bakos said.

“Drug trafficking and drug-related offending is objectively serious and your sentences must reflect the harm such offending causes to the community …”

Mayer, who appeared via videolink from Dame Phyllis Frost, was convicted and sentenced to time served – five months – and handed a 12-month community correction order.

Wilkins was convicted and sentenced to time served – 78 days – and handed a 12-month CCO.
