A mum-of-two controlled a heroin and cocaine drugs line described by a judge as a 'family business'. Bianca Freeman-Blakeborough, 30, sent out multiple 'bulk' messages to potential buyers over a nine-month period.
Prosecuting, Katy Laverty said the drugs were supplied across north Manchester. Analysis of phone data revealed that- between August last year and May this year, 'flare' messages were sent to multiple contacts. "On May 21 this year, a warrant was executed at the defendant's address. Two mobile phones were recovered, one being the drugs line and the other her personal phone. There was also a small amount of cannabis as well as scales and a box of unused bags.
Mitigating, Ellen Shaw said the messages from her dad suggested she was 'not top of her game' because she had a 'problem with cocaine use'.
