Drug dealer who hid wraps in bra jailed

A drug dealer who hid Class A drugs behind an air conditioning unit and more than 100 wraps in her bra has been jailed.
Adele Machin, 47, was among a group of people approached by neighbourhood police officers in a car park off Oxford Road, in Millfield, Peterborough on 18 January.
Officers found a bag of class A drugs behind an air conditioning unit close to where Machin was sitting, and later found 64 wraps of crack cocaine and 45 wraps of heroin stashed inside her bra.
Appearing at Peterborough Crown Court on Friday, Machin, of Oundle Road, Woodston, Peterborough, was jailed for 28 months.
Machin previously admitted possession with intent to supply crack cocaine and heroin and being in possession of criminal property, namely £110 in cash.
The money will now be donated to the Cambridgeshire Community Foundation.
Det Con Emily Richardson said: "This was a great spot by neighbourhood officers who were in the area responding to community concerns about drug dealing around Occupation Park.
"We often get asked why we stop-search the lower-level drug users instead of solely focusing on the dealers, but this helps us identify those involved in the supply of drugs in Peterborough.
"With this information and reports from the public, we are able to arrest those involved and put them before the courts."
