A drug dealer who was caught peddling cocaine to her local community has narrowly escaped a custodial sentence.
Lyndsey Gardner, 36, was found to have just over £6,000 worth of the Class A drug when police raided her former home at Hungerage Square in Tranent, East Lothian.
During the search of the woman’s property police officers discovered a tub full of the white powder hidden in a utility room cupboard as well as a further nine wraps of the drug.
