Woman helped 'Scouse Joey' gang make thousands in drug cash

A woman who helped a county lines drug gang from Liverpool make tens of thousands of pounds in a cross country drug operation has been spared jail.

Claire Woodward let her home in Newquay be used by members of a crime group, with cash being paid into her bank account before transferring it to those higher up the trafficking chain in Liverpool on the same day. In one case, Woodward made an electronic bank transfer less than a minute after ending a call with a gang member.

Woodward, 41, of Crantock Street, Newquay was convicted of two counts of conspiracy to supply class A drugs at a trial in September last year. She returned to court on Tuesday, April 26 to be sentenced, Cornwall Live reports.
