A dimwitted drug dealer who offered to supply her offender manager police officer with drugs was jailed for over three years on Thursday after wraps of heroin and opioid were found in her bra.

Amy Norridge, from High Wycombe, had been sitting in the passenger seat of a car which was pulled over by police, who told her and the driver that they needed to conduct a strip search, Aylesbury Crown Court heard on Thursday (June 4).

The 26-year-old was found to have 36 wraps concealed on her person but she told the officers investigating her that it was for personal use, prosecutors said.

As part of the investigation, police discovered that Norridge, who was a drug addict with 18 previous convictions for 31 offences, had even offered to sell drugs to a police officer who she had as a contact on her mobile phone.

Norridge, from Malvern Close, appeared in Aylesbury Crown Court by video link to receive her sentence for two counts of possession of class A drugs with intent to supply, which she had admitted at the first opportunity after coming to court.

Judge Thomas Rochford, sentencing, said: "It makes very sad reading I am afraid, to see a record like you have at the age of 26 years and any judge looking at that record will know what is behind it and what is behind it is drug use.

"I have no doubt that is why you have such a record over such a long period.

"You sent a message to the officer, your offender manager, offering to supply him with drugs which I take as an indication of the ineptitude and lack of sophistication with which you were conducting this."

The judge sentenced Norridge, who had been on licence from a previous jail term at the time she carried out the drug dealing, to 38 months in prison.
