A care worker caught by police with 6kg of heroin in the boot of her Audi had turned to a life of crime carrying drugs to pay off a former lover's debt. Claire Dooley was jailed for four years after admitting to possession of heroin with intent to supply, and possession of cannabis.
Liverpool Crown Court heard the 43-year-old was approached by a gang to work for them in order to pay off her former partner's drugs debt. In exchange for couriering drugs and dirty cash, the carer would be paid £1,000.
After "bumping into a man by chance", she agreed to have the cash planted in her boot and to drive to an address. Dooley would then pick up the drugs and return, reports the Liverpool Echo.
