Jane Torrens, 49, and from Prince Street in Oswestry, was caught with almost £6,000 worth of crack cocaine and heroin when police raided a property in the town.

She was sentenced after admitting two counts of possession with intent to supply a controlled drug of class A.

During a brief 'proceeds of crime' hearing on Monday, at Shrewsbury Crown Court, Judge Julian Taylor was told that Torrens was deemed to have benefitted to the tune of £7,090.45 from her dealing.

But Patrick Sullivan, prosecuting, told the court that there were only £3,195 of recoverable assets or cash to be claimed.
