A woman was found with more than £1,000 of crack cocaine and heroin hidden inside her body when police raided a drugs den.
Georgina Grant had the stash of illicit Class A substances secreted upon her when police came knocking on the door of co-conspirator Mark Morley, who was caught red-handed dealing in a white van. Another man, Benjamin Williams, attempted to flee the clutches of officers but was then arrested in a shop in possession of a large stash of cash.
Liverpool Crown Court heard that police observed Morley enter a white van on Eric Street in Widnes and make a "hand to hand exchange" with the driver on July 26 last year. Ian Whitehurst, prosecuting, described how the 57-year-old then made a similar transaction with a man on a bike immediately after getting out of vehicle.
