A South Cumbrian woman has been jailed for two-and-a-half years for a number of drugs crimes.
Ashleigh Parkinson, 28, of Tweed Rise, Walney, was found in possession of £2,220 to £3,240 of heroin and crack cocaine and £1,760 in cash when police raided her home on February 17 this year.
Parkinson was released on bail, whilst officers conducted further enquiries.
On March 31, officers executed a second warrant at her home and found crack cocaine, diazepam, and a large amount of amphetamine valued at £1783.50, as well as £220 in cash.
This led to Parkinson being charged and remanded into custody.
Parkinson was convicted yesterday at Preston Crown Court of:
- Possession with intent to supply heroin
- Possession with intent to supply crack cocaine
- Possession with intent to supply amphetamine
- Money laundering
- Possession of crack cocaine
- Possession of diazepam
A spokesman from Barrow’s Serious & Organised Crime unit said: “We welcome the sentence imposed on Parkinson and hope it serves as a deterrent to those who seek to profit from addiction.
“Parkinson, undeterred by her arrest and the subsequent police investigation, continued to involve herself in the supply of drug in Barrow.”
