A Nottinghamshire family coerced into selling cannabis were labelled the 'most unlikely band of criminals' by a judge. Chelsea Toulsen, 27, roped in her mother and step-father to help pay her abusive ex-partner's drug debt by dealing cannabis.
Maxine Parker, 58, and Lyndon Parker, 48, also of Limetree Road, assisted Toulsen in selling cannabis from May 2018 to January 2020. But on January 6, 2020, the two nearby homes were raided by Nottinghamshire Police, with officers finding drug bags and £225 in cash.
Evidence from seized phones showed extensive conversations related to sales and that Toulsen had a diary in her property detailing people's orders. Tom Heath, prosecuting, told Nottingham Crown Court cannabis was found on a kitchen worktop, with one amount worth £4,080 found at one of the properties.
