After flaunting her unusually lavish lifestyle on social media, a drug dealer's girlfriend accidentally gave his game away - leading police to eventually raid their home, the Daily Star reports.
Emily Lock, 22, was a part-time Lidl worker earning just £10,000 ($14,000) per year, while her 27-year-old boyfriend, Mark Price, claimed to be a struggling builder.
But things didn't quite add up when Lock shared countless snaps of the two travelling all over the world and splashing out on designer clothing.

Police officers raided their home last year, as the couple were about to jet off to Thailand for their next luxury holiday.
It was then that police found 100g of 83 percent purity cocaine, which led them to also seize Price's phone to crack a wider drug ring - discovering a message to co-defendant Kyle Crowley, 28, detailing cocaine-dealing operations equivalent to a whopping £1,600 ($2,300) per week.
Lock and Price had apparently blown more than £100,000 on their lavish lifestyle while Price was dealing. He'd had also taken out a fraudulent £33,000 ($47,000) loan to help buy an Audi RS4.

Lock claimed that she didn't know anything about her boyfriend's criminal activities - saying she thought the was a builder.
After raiding Crowley's home in Caerphilly, police discovered 12 cannabis plants, which had a street value of £8,000 ($11,300).
30-year-old Christopher Morgan was also uncovered by Price's phone records, and after a police search officers discovered 30 more cannabis plants.

Morgan claimed were all for personal use, but later admitted producing and supplying the drug.
Defending Price, Jeffrey Jones asked for his client's lack of criminal record to be taken into account, saying that he had 'made a significant mistake'.
Price was eventually jailed for five years, while Morgan was given 20 months and Lock 15 months.
PC Michael Coles, officer in charge of the case for Gwent Police, said: "I hope the sentences issued to these individuals highlight that the supply of controlled drugs will not be tolerated in Caerphilly.

"These people endanger our community and this lengthy investigation shows we are committed to using all powers and resources available to bring them before the courts.
"I hope this sends a message to those who continue to be involved in the supply of controlled drugs, that you will not just be prosecuted, we will also use our powers to seize any financial assets you have acquired though criminality."
