A woman secretly funded her lavish lifestyle of designer handbags and foreign holidays by selling heroin and crack cocaine.
Engineer and university graduate Danielle Stafford had a long-running "additional cash income stream" but was caught by chance when police spotted her speeding. Stafford's phone constantly rang or pinged up with messages related to the supply of drugs after she was arrested - and police later found nearly £27,000 in cash and drugs worth £33,600 in her home.
The 29-year-old was "awash with cash from her drug dealing business" and police found luxuries including nine watches and three expensive Louis Vuitton handbags in her home. Stafford admitted to three offences of being concerned in supplying heroin, crack cocaine and cannabis and another of possessing cash as criminal property between October 2017 and May 2020.
