Prosecutor Lauren Sangray said: "Within a black safe was a Farmfoods polybag which was seized.
"Four knotted polybags which contained brown powder were seized.
"Disposable gloves, a list of names and numbers and spare polybags were found in the property."
The powder was tested at the time and found to be heroin.
Within the Farmfoods bag, there was a total of 188 knotted plastic packages. These were valued at £5640.
Mitchell pleaded guilty to being concerned in the supply of heroin.
He also admitted failing to appear at a previous hearing.
His lawyer Ian Moir told the court his client has never served time behind bars.
