A Cottingham woman has been jailed for seven and a half years for drugs offences after she's said to have "fallen into a life of crime."

29-year-old Danielle Stafford of Hallgate admitted being involved in the supply of crack cocaine, cannabis and heroin as well as possession of criminal property.

Officers searched her house recovering drugs, designer clothes, jewellery and £30,000 in cash.

The investigating officer in the case said:

“Danielle Stafford had fallen into a life of crime which caught up with her the night officers pulled her over for her erratic driving.

“When we searched her home and found the stash of cash and drugs, we could see her lifestyle had led her into drug dealing.

“Her lifestyle and drug dealing activity impacted on her neighbours and community and knowing she is now behind bars and unable to continue her activities, I hope will reassure the people that she will no longer be able to blight their lives.

“This case should show that we can and will take action against those who chose to deal drugs in our area.

“If you have concerns about drug related crime in your area, please get in touch."
