A husband and wife have been remanded in custody after their nine-month-old baby tested positive for cocaine.
The shocking discovery was made after police tracked the pair to a tiny hut on an allotment.
They were living in squalid, freezing conditions with no hot water.

Officers had been hunting the 33-year-old man as part of an investigation into a fraud gang.
Members scammed elderly victims by posing as police officers and public officials.
Detectives later discovered he had already been sentenced to a year in prison and was wanted for a string of property-related offences.
He had been moving from place to place to avoid capture.
Cops finally caught up with him and his 30-year-old wife last Thursday (9 Oct).
When police stormed the shack, they found the couple’s baby living among filth and clutter.
Paramedics were called to the scene and rushed the infant to the hospital, where tests revealed traces of cocaine in his blood.
Police said the child is now out of danger, as reported by Need To Know.
A search of the makeshift home uncovered packages of drugs hidden inside a sofa.
Officers seized more than 2kg of marijuana, cocaine and mephedrone, along with electronic scales, mobile phones and bundles of cash.
Both parents were allegedly under the influence of cocaine and marijuana at the time of their arrest in Kraków, Poland.
They were later brought before prosecutors in Tarnów, charged with participating in an organised criminal group, drug trafficking, and endangering the life or health of a child, before being remanded in custody.
A spokesperson for Małopolska Police said: “Investigators are now working to determine where the man obtained the drugs.
“Where they were distributed, and how many people fell victim to (the couple’s) scams.
“Further arrests have not been ruled out.”
