A DRUG dealer who hid cocaine inside a Peppa Pig tea set wrapped to look like a child's gift was ordered yesterday to pay back £523,000.
Paul McNulty, 51, had 1.2kg of the drug worth £120,000 in his car boot when police stopped him near Bristol.
A raid on his Liverpool home found £422,682 plus €44,840 hidden behind a false skirting board.
McNulty admitted conspiracy to supply and concealing criminal property and got seven years’ jail in January 2016 at Bristol crown court.
Yesterday the same court ordered him to repay £523,310 within three months. Failure could mean an extra five years in jail.
He is currently in HMP Liverpool.

Dr Kirstie Cogram of Avon and Somerset Police's Financial Investigation Unit said: "We are committed to seizing any assets that criminals have gained as a result of crime.
"It is not acceptable that criminals benefit from illegal activities and we will relentlessly pursue them through the courts to ensure their money is taken.
"By doing this we show criminals that they will not benefit from crime and hopefully deter others from entering a life of crime."
