Two women have been sentenced for their role in the supply of drugs in Warwickshire.
At Warwick Crown Court yesterday (Thursday 29 February) Hazel Wright, 57, of no fixed abode has been sentenced to six years and two months in prison after pleading guilty to two counts each of being concerned in the supply of crack cocaine and being concerned in the supply of heroin.
Marissa Quinn, 54, of St Nicholas Road, Radford Semele was given a 23-month prison sentence suspended for 20 months after pleading guilty to being concerned in the supply of heroin. She pleaded not guilty to being concerned in the supply of crack cocaine and this charge was left to lie on file.
On 28 June 2023, plain clothed detectives carrying out targeted drug patrols stopped a car in Haddon Road, Leamington. Wright was in the passenger seat in possession of heroin and crack cocaine and was arrested.
When officers searched her, another two rocks of crack cocaine dropped out of her trouser leg.
Wright was arrested again on 31 August when detectives raided a house in Briar Close, Leamington where she was living at the time.
Quinn was also in the house where officers located her trying to flush drugs down the toilet.
Detective searched the house and seized heroin and crack cocaine.
Across both incidents officers seized more than £5,000 worth of drugs.
