A pub landlady allowed her premises to be used as a drugs factory where fake solicitors' letters were dipped in psychoactive substances before being sent into HMP Northumberland.
Preston landlady Lorraine Jackson permitted the cellar and manager’s accommodation of her pub, The Gamull, to be used as a base for the illicit operation, Lancs Live reports. Sheets of paper were dipped into the Class B drug spice and posted to the Acklington jail, where police said they could be sold for as much as £900.
The letters were sent to HMP Northumberland with Rule 39 stamp and the name ABV Solicitors - meaning prison staff weren’t allowed to view the contents. But suspicious staff discovered the name was fake and altered police.
