Prosecutor Justin Espie told Flintshire Magistrates’ Court in Mold that when security attended they found the caravan in a state which looked as if it had been ransacked.

The pair were said to be asleep in different rooms and there was a lighter and medication on the floor which their two young children could have easily had access to.

It was stressed that the children had not come to any harm.

Magistrates heard social services were now involved with the family and the kids have been taken away temporarily to live with a relative.
