A woman who was 'cuckooed' by drug dealers into growing a cannabis farm in her house has avoided jail. Sarah Parr, 34, fled her home following issues of domestic violence from her ex-partner, and was ‘pressured’ into allowing the drugs to be grown in her flat in Moston.
After police executed a search warrant at her home on Herschel Street, they found 48 cannabis plants, along with various drug paraphernalia. They also recovered wraps of cocaine and heroin, Manchester Crown Court heard.
Two men were seen trying to flee the house, one of which was later identified as Aden Hilton, 33. The other man had no further action taken against him. Following a search of Hilton's phone, messages showing drug dealing were recovered.
