Oswestry dealer caught with nearly £6,000 of crack and heroin is given chance to get clean
An Oswestry drug dealer who was caught with almost £6,000 worth of crack cocaine and heroin has been given a chance to get clean.
Jane Torrens, aged 48, was busted by police at a property in Oswestry, who found her trying to hide drugs in a bedroom as officers burst in.
Shrewsbury Crown Court heard how police executed a warrant at 9.30am on February 8, 2022, and found 29.7g of heroin and 29.6g of crack cocaine, with a combined street value of around £5,930.
They also found £150 worth of cannabis, sums of cash totalling more than £265 and "tick lists" which usually contain names and debts of a dealer's customers.
Scales, unused foil squares, heroin on a spoon and a cutting agent - used for breaking down cooked powder cocaine into smaller crack crystals for smoking - were also found by police.
When officers swooped, Torrens told them the drugs were "nothing to do with anybody else". She confessed to using the equipment for cooking up rocks of crack, but said it was for her to smoke only.
